Ingredients
- 3 Large Egg Whites at room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon Cream of Tartar
- ⅛ teaspoon Salt
- ¾ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder sifted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 225°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl on medium speed until foamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the cream of tartar and salt. Continue beating until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes on medium speed.
- Increase the mixer to high speed. Gradually add the sugar, approximately 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until the meringue is thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks, about 3-5 minutes. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Sift the cocoa powder over the meringue to prevent lumps. Fold it in gently with a spatula just until combined. Do not continue mixing once the cocoa disappears.
- Pipe or spoon the meringue into dollops onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 45 minutes, until the cookies feel dry and lift easily from the parchment.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cookies inside with the door closed for 1 hour to finish cooling.
