Ingredients
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. This will take about 3–4 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating continuously until the mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
Step 4
Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder into the egg white mixture and gently fold it in using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract, salt, and mini chocolate chips to the batter, folding just until incorporated.
Step 6
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the surfaces are shiny and crackly.
Step 8
Remove the trays from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets before carefully transferring them to a wire rack. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Store the Low Fat Chocolate Chewies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, if they last that long!
