Yields: 50 cookies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 90 min
Ingredients:
6
egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1 /2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsweetened
chocolate cocoa
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon
unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or use the Silicone Baking Mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup cocoa and sugar together; set aside.
 In a large bowl using your electric mixer, beat egg whites
until foamy/frothy. Check out
How To Make A Perfect Meringue. While beating to the frothy stage, add salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla extract.
After reaching the frothy stage, add the cocoa/sugar mixture (1 tablespoons at a time) while continuing beating until the egg whites are stiff and glossy.
Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets (1-inch apart).
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon cocoa and cinnamon. Using a sieve or a
sifter, sprinkle mixture over the non-baked cookies.
Bake 90 minutes; turn off the oven, open the door slightly (secure with a wooden spoon), and allow cookies to cool in the oven.
Remove from oven and store in a tightly covered (airtight) container.
Yields 50 cookies.
