Ingredients
– 1.5 cups powdered sugar
– 5 tablespoons dark cocoa powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 egg whites
– 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (or extract of choice)
– 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
1-Initial Preparation: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt, egg whites, and peppermint extract. Stir everything with a spatula until it’s fully mixed, smooth, and glossy it takes a few minutes for the egg whites to blend in perfectly.
2-Shaping the Cookies: Next, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to place about 6 mounds of batter on the prepared baking sheet, each around 1 tablespoon. Shape each one into a round form with a toothpick if needed, then add a few chocolate chips on top for that extra burst of flavor.
3-Baking and Cooling: Bake for 10-12 minutes, checking at 10 minutes to ensure the tops are glossy and crackled without overbaking. Once done, let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet. This step helps them set while maintaining their soft and chewy texture, perfect for any food enthusiast’s snack time.
