How to Make Chocolate Meringue Christmas Cookies Carrie Sheridan

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large, clean, grease-free bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until stiff and glossy peaks form again. The meringue should be firm and hold its shape.
  4. Gently fold in ground almonds and cocoa powder until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the meringue.
  5. Spoon rounded tablespoons of meringue onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the cookies are crisp on the outside and slightly soft in the center. Keep a close eye on them towards the end, as baking times may vary.
  7. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before carefully transferring them to a wire rack.
  8. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
