Ingredients

  • 3 cups (360 g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons (69 g) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (128 g) miniature chocolate chips
  • 2 cups (230 g) walnut halves toasted and chopped
  • 4 large egg whites at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the confectioner’ sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
  • Add the egg whites and vanilla extract and beat just until the batter is moistened. You do not want to overbeat - you are not trying to make a meringue or stiffen the dough.
  • Spoon the batter onto the baking sheets in 12 equal portions, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the tops are glossy and lightly cracked. If baking two sheets at once, be sure to rotate pans from top to bottom racks to ensure even baking. Remove from the oven and transfer cookie to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
