How to Make South Beach Diet Friendly Chocolate Meringue Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, grease-free bowl, combine 4 large egg whites, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  4. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar substitute (such as Splenda or erythritol), and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, beating continuously until stiff, glossy peaks form. (Do not overbeat)
  5. Gently fold in 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional).
  6. Using a teaspoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meringues are crisp and dry to the touch. Do not overbake.
  8. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
