Calories: 139kcal
Cost: Recipe $3.00 / Serving $0.19
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cup powdered sugar ($0.99)
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder ($0.72)
- ½ teaspoon salt ($0.01)
- 3 large egg whites, room temperature ($0.45)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ($0.03)
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips ($0.80)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add wet ingredients. Stir in the egg whites and vanilla extract using a spoon until the batter is fully moistened. The texture should be thick and glossy, similar to brownie batter, not stiff like cookie dough.
- Fold in chocolate. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Portion cookies. Scoop the batter into 1 ½ to 2 tablespoon portions and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Rest batter. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 30 minutes, or until a dry skin forms on the surface and the batter no longer sticks when lightly touched.
- Bake. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.
- Cool. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.
Notes
- Texture check. Batter should be glossy and thick but scoopable; if too wet, whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons powdered sugar.
- Measuring tip. Measure vanilla precisely. Adding extra liquid will affect the structure.
- Scaling. Recipe can be reduced to 1 egg white; use 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and scale remaining ingredients to one-third.
