I got the recipe from my brother-in-law. He knows I love baking and trying out new recipes. I still don't know the real source of this recipe. I'll find out when we visit them soon.
Here goes:
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chip cookies (at the most 61% cacao) divided
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, divided (I used 1 1/4 cups only and I think 1 cup should still be fine)
1/3 cup unsweetended cocoa powder
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 large egg whites, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Coat 2 large rimmed baking sheets with nonstick spray. Place 1/2 cup chocolate chips in small microwave-safe bowl. Cook in 15-second intervals until chocolate softens; stir until melted and smooth. Cool chocolate to lukewarm, about 10 minutes. Whisk 1/2 cup sugar, cocoa, and cornstarch in small bowl to blend.
Using electric mixer, beat egg whites, vanilla, salt, and cream of tartar in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Add remaining 1 cup sugar in 4 additions, beating just to blend after each addition. Conitnue to beat until meringue is thick and glossy like marshmallow creme. Beat in cocoa mixture. Fold in melted chocolate, then 1/2 cup chips.
Drop batter by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared sheets, spacing 3 inches apart. Bake cookies for 7 minutes, then reverse sheets and bake until dry-looking and cracked, about 6 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks and cool completely. I'm sure you will be tempted to eat it right away but the cookies are best eaten when completely cooled.
My husband was very, very happy. What are you waiting for?? Buy the ingredients and try it out! Run, don't walk!
