I made these to take to dinner at my friend's house a couple of weeks ago, and they were a huge hit. This weekend is my sweet 16, and the night before we are having a dinner at my house for our relatives coming from out of town; I'm in charge of dessert, so this past week I made about 70 of these, and have stashed them in the freezer. And seriously, I've managed to restrain myself and not sneak very many out as a late-night snack (but only barely). This week I've been celebrating not only crazy party preparations, but also a new favorite cookie!
Enjoy!
Flourless Chocolate Fudge Cookies
(slightly adapted from Picklee)
1 1/2 cups (9 oz) bittersweet chocolate chips
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, divided
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup hot chocolate mix or sweetened cocoa powder, for rolling cookies
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 2 large baking sheets with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper. Melt 1 cup chocolate chips in glass bowl in microwave, stirring twice, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly.
Using electric mixer, beat whites in large bowl to soft peaks. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar. Continue beating until mixture resembles soft marshmallow fluff.
Whisk 1 cup sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt in medium bowl to blend. On low speed, add dry ingredients into meringue mixture.
Mix lukewarm chocolate mixture and 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dough will be very soft; let it sit for about a minute and it will thicken enough to roll).
Place hot chocolate mix or sweetened cocoa in a shallow bowl or on a plate. Roll 1 rounded tablespoon dough into ball; roll in chocolate, coating thickly. Place on prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake until puffed and tops crack, about 10 minutes. Cool on sheets on rack 10 minutes.
Transfer to rack, cool.
