Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 27 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 egg whites at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup marshmallows + 1/2 cup walnuts optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper lightly with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Beat in two egg whites and the vanilla extract until the batter is moistened. You're looking for a brownie-like, thick and fudgy batter consistency. If it seems too thick, add another egg white - then a 4th one if it still seems too thick. Fold in chocolate chips. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
  • Spoon batter onto the prepared baking sheets in 12 evenly spaced mounds per cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the tops are glossy and lightly cracked. Slide the parchment paper (with the cookies) onto wire racks. Cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make it DAIRY-FREE: Use dairy-free chocolate chips like Enjoy Life Foods to keep these cookies dairy-free.
  • The 15 minute rest helps these cookies have the perfect texture and consistency.
