How to Make Flourless Deep Dark Chocolate Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  5. Gradually add 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120g) granulated sugar, ½ cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ cup (30g) cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  7. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the meringue, mixing until just combined.
  8. Stir in the lukewarm melted chocolate and ½ cup (3 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  9. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls.
  10. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  11. Optional: Roll cookies in granulated sugar before placing them on the baking sheet.
  12. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are cracked.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
