26 min Prep: 10 min Cook: 16 min
Serves: 15 Save

Ingredients (6)

  • 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa (made with alkali)
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300F.
  2. Mix together sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Gradually add egg whites, stirring with a spoon until mixture forms a dough. (Mixture should be thick enough to form into balls; if not add more powdered sugar and cocoa). Add nuts; mix well.
  3. Form dough into 15 balls. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake 16 to 19 minutes, until glossy and crackled. Remove from parchment paper and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
