Chocolate Meringue Cookies

Straight from my French Culinary Guide to Healthy Cooking cookbook...

simple enough

I'm thinking these would be good with non-fat vanilla frozen yogurt squished in the middle or vanilla soy dream whatever your diet requires!!! Make sure to read the labels...

3 large egg whites

1/8 tsp cream of tartar

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup confectioner's sugar

Preheat oven to 375F.

Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment.

Place the eggwhites and cream of tartar in a medium bowl, beat with elecric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.. Gradually beat in the granulated sugar and beat on high until the whites are stiff and shiny.

Sift the cocoa powder in whites and gently fold in until just blended.

Drop tablespoonfuls onto the parchment, about one-inch apart. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the cookies are dry. Carefully peel them off and place them on a wire rack to cool. When cool, sprinkle with confectioners sugar. Store covered at room temperature.

Thank you. These cookies sound good, especially since I have a new found love for pavlova! I will definitely try them.

These are great, I even put a few mini-choc. chips in. I skip the powdered sugar. They disappear so fast, they never make to the storage container.

LOL!
