Ingredients

• 200 grams Powdered sugar
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 pinch Salt
• 2 pieces Large egg whites
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 120 grams Chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir with a spatula or spoon until the ingredients form a thick, glossy batter. Note: The batter will appear sticky, which is normal.

Step 4

Fold in the chopped walnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.

Step 6

Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have a shiny surface and slightly cracked tops.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Repeat the baking process for the second sheet.

Step 9

Serve the cookies once cooled, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
