Provided by á-170456

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 cup egg whites see * Note
1 3/4 cups Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 pound walnut or pecan pieces

Steps:

* Note: Rather than cracking a number of eggs, you can buy cartons of liquid egg whites at supermarkets. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix together the egg whites, cocoa, salt and sugar on medium speed until the batter is stiff and all ingredients are well incorporated, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the walnuts or pecans by hand. Place the batter by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the baking sheet; work in batches. Bake until the cookies are a bit shiny and slightly cracked, 10 minutes. They will look underdone but do not overbake. This recipe yields 48 cookies. Each cookie: 125 calories; 34 mg sodium; 0 cholesterol; 7 grams fat; 1 gram saturated fat; 17 grams carbohydrates; 3 grams protein; 1.67 grams fiber.

CHOCOLATE CHEWIES

If you love the chocolate chewies that Safeway sells, then this recipe is for you! It's wheat free, and the only fat comes from nuts. I got this recipe from another website and have altered it slightly to make it more like the Safeway cookies. Next time I make this recipe, I'm going to try substituting walnuts for the pecans. Enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 18-20 cookies, depending on size

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups chopped pecans
3 large egg whites (do not use egg substitutes)
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons ground-up pecans
1 pinch salt
3/4 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F; line cookie sheet(s) with parchment paper.
Toast nuts until fragrant and brown. Cool.
Beat egg whites one at at time, then continue beating while adding powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Add vanilla; beat 2 minutes on high speed.
Fold in toasted pecans. Drop by heaping tablespoon on baking sheet 2-inches apart.
Bake in the middle of the oven 15-18 minutes or until dry on surface but soft in the center when pressed. DON'T OVERBAKE. Cool. Store in an airtight container for 3 days, or freeze up to 1 month.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A combination of semisweet and bittersweet chocolate is ideal.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough cookie.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying them.

Conclusion:

These chocolate chewies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. They are rich, chewy, and have the perfect amount of sweetness. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make these delicious cookies at home. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give this recipe a try!
