We loved these so much that they never even made it into the cookie jar. Well, maybe I loved them so much. I can only remember my husband eating one. Slacker.

 

I think they are a form of a meringue, but having never made meringues before (!), I can’t be sure. I just know that they came close to the chocolate chewies from Whole Foods, which I’m busy trying to replicate.

 

I also ate these like I do the chocolate chewies, shoving 4 in my mouth at one time because I just can’t get enough.

 

So simple – I just beat some egg whites, cocoa and sugar.

And folded in some dark chocolate chips.

See where I’m going with this?

 

Egg whites. Dark chocolate.

 

We have a healthy cookie here.

 

Well, close to healthy if I had omitted the entire cup of sugar.

 

Oh, well. :)

 

 

I plopped big dollops on a baking sheet, and into the oven they went for 8 hours.

For future reference: this is not a cookie to make if you are craving sweets now. They need to be in the oven for 8 hours, without the door being opened.

 

This is difficult since I’m an oven-peeper. If you’re like me, make them right before bed time.

 

 

See how pretty?

Eat up.

 

But if you want 6-pack abs, only have a few. :)

 

 

 

Friday Trivia Winner!

My apologies for forgetting to announce the winner of Martha’s Cookie’s yesterday! See, I literally wrote each name down on a piece of paper and threw it into a hat. I figured it was the most fair way. However, it was a bit time consuming.

 

So who is our winner??
