I made these cookies yesterday and was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. If you're as big of a chocoholic as I am, you'll definitely want to give these a try. Original recipe found here.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
- 3 large egg whites, room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar (+1/2 cup for sprinkling on top)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Melt 1 cup of the chocolate chips and set aside to cool slightly.
Roll the dough into balls about the size of a tablespoon. Roll the balls in the remaining powdered sugar until thickly coated. Space about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet.
Bake until the tops crack (about 10 minutes). Do not over bake! I made this mistake and burned the bottoms of my first batch. They should be soft and gooey inside (even gooier than the top photo).
You're going to need a big glass of milk for these bad boys!
Psst... I'm picking the 100,000 pageview giveaway winner tonight at 8PM PST!

Haha, the good thing about these is that they're so rich it's hard to eat more than one!
DeleteChocoholic here...present! I am loving this treat just by looking at it...I may have to double the recipe since 1 recipe mix may not be enough, these bad boys look so addicting. ;)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that last night! I'm definitely doubling the recipe next time!
Deletemmmm they look DELICIOUS!!! I'm gonna try this recipe =D thank u for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteNo problem! You'll love them!
DeleteJust saw these on Pinterest, definitely making for the game on Sunday!! They look amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese look lovely. I wonder if there is something that could be substituted for the corn starch, as I can't have any grains at all.
ReplyDeleteI found this chart of substitutions. It might be helpful...

Apparently you can substitute 1 tablespoon of cornstarch for 1 tablespoon arrowroot or 2 tablespoons quick-cooking (instant) tapioca.
Just made this, and they're delish... especially hot out of the oven! Can't wait to share them with some chocolate-loving girlfriends!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked them! :)
DeleteAbout how many does a single recipe make?
ReplyDeleteAbout 2 dozen.
DeleteI finally got around to making these this afternoon, but the batter wasn't thick at all - in fact it was hard to form the balls (consistency was more like thick frosting). I've checked and double-checked the recipe. The only thing I can think of is that the eggwhite/powdered sugar combo looked like marshmallow creme but wasn't that thick. I wasn't sure if beating it longer would have made it thicker or not. Any ideas as I'd like to try it again if I did something wrong. Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteHi Terri. This recipe can be tricky and maybe my instructions weren't the best. I updated the powdered sugar measurements within the ingredients to read 2 cups + 1/2 cup for sprinkling over the top. Could you have possibly added the entire 2 1/2 cups before?
