Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2/3 cup Dutch Process cocoa powder
  • 2-4 large egg whites room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Begin baking by heating your oven to 350°F. While it warms, prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper, giving them a light coating of non-stick spray - this extra step ensures your cookies release perfectly.
  • Create the base by combining powdered sugar, Dutch-process cocoa powder, and salt in a spacious mixing bowl. This careful blending creates the foundation for the cookie's intense chocolate flavor and perfect texture.
  • Start with two egg whites, incorporating them until your mixture achieves that coveted brownie-batter consistency. The batter should be thick and glossy - add a third egg white only if needed for the right texture.
  • Gently fold the bittersweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. This addition creates pockets of melted chocolate that elevate these cookies from delicious to extraordinary.
  • Place generous portions of batter onto your prepared sheets using a spring-release scoop or tablespoon. Leave ample space—about 2 inches—between each cookie as they will spread during baking.
  • Watch carefully as they bake for 12-14 minutes. The perfect cookie will develop a glossy top with delicate cracks while maintaining a gooey center. The key is to remove them just as the cracks appear - this ensures the ideal texture contrast.
  • Transfer the entire parchment sheet to a wire rack and allow the cookies to cool completely. This step is crucial for developing their signature texture and ensuring they hold together perfectly.
  • Once cooled, these cookies can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container. Over the next few days, they'll develop an even more remarkable chewy texture.
