CHOCOLATE MERINGUE COOKIES

There are the best chocolate meringues ... crispy on the outside and a bit gooey on the inside. It's like eating a rich fudgy brownie. You would never know they were not only fairly low in fat, but also in calories (at least for something that yummy and chocolatey). The recipe comes from the Creative Chef 2 Cookbook, put out by the Tourette's Association of America. It was one of the best cookbooks I ever had. Note: Although the cookies do expand somewhat, they shouldn't flatten and spread too much, as the thicker they are, the more fudgey the center will be. The extra room is also to allow for more air to circulate the meringue, making for a more even texture.

Time 30m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
3/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Grease the cookie sheets, and cover with parchment paper or wax paper.
  • (I usually spray the paper with non-stick vegetable spray).
  • Melt the chocolate chips over hot water in double boiler.
  • If you prefer (and this is the way I prefer doing it), you can melt them in the microwave.
  • Start by cooking for 20 seconds.
  • Stir and return to the microwave for another 10 seconds.
  • Stir again, and repeat the process until all the chips are melted.
  • Beat the egg whites until foamy, and then begin gradually adding the sugar while continuing to beat.
  • Beat until stiff.
  • Then beat in the vanilla and vinegar.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate and nuts, if desired.
  • Drop the batter, a teaspoon at a time, onto the sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until firm to the touch.
  • Remove immediately from sheets.
  • Store in airtight container.
  • NOTE: Try not to store these for too long.
  • Although they will keep, they will dry out a bit and lose that gooeyness inside somewhat, which is what makes them so special.

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup Splenda granular (I used a little less than 2/3)
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 handful of crushed almonds (optional) or 1 pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Combine egg whites, cream of tartar, and vanilla. Beat until the whites form soft peaks. Slowly add sugar substitute and cocoa; beat until stiff peaks form, and mixture becomes glossy.
  • Optional - Fold in nuts.
  • Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls on to a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Cool completely and store in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The chocolate is the star of these cookies, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites: Overbeaten egg whites will make the cookies tough. Beat them until they are stiff peaks, but not dry.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a low temperature: This will help them to bake evenly without overbrowning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These South Beach Diet-friendly Chocolate Meringue Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are low in carbs and sugar, and they are packed with protein and fiber. So, you can enjoy them without feeling guilty!
