Best Chocolate Nut Meringues Recipes

CHOCOLATE NUT MERINGUES

Steps:

• beat egg whites until stiff peaks form in a glass or aluminum bowl.
• fold in sugar and cocoa, mixing well.
• fold in nuts (if using them).
• using a spoon and a spatula place ~2 T lumps of the batter on an un-greased baking sheet. This is key--there must be no fat that touches the batter or else the meringues will collapse.
• bake at 200F for several hours (welcome suggestions on temp and time). I usually bake them for 2+ hours and then let them sit in the oven for several more hours until the insides are not gooey.

• Drop tablespoonfuls of the egg white mixture onto parchment paper-covered baking sheets.
• Bake 35 to 40 min. or until cookies are dry on the outside. Remove to wire racks; cool completely. Store in tightly covered container at room temperature.
