Inspired by the original recipe from Jacque Torres, these cookies have no flour or oil but plenty of pure chocolaty nutty goodness.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/3 cups Cocoa Powder I like to mix regular cocoa powder with cacao powder about half and half.
  • 4 1/4 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups Dark Chocolate Chips I like Guittard Extra Dark Chocolate Baking Chips (63% cacao)
  • 1 cup Walnuts
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 5 Egg Whites Use large eggs NOT extra large or jumbo.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place a sheet of parchment paper on top and spray again with cooking spray. 
  • Put walnuts in a sealed plastic bag and roll with a rolling pin until crumbs. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the Cocoa Powder, Powdered Sugar and Salt until there are no lumps. Switch to a wooden spoon, and stir in Egg Whites, Vanilla, Chocolate Chips and Walnuts. Mix until combined. The dough is very stiff.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to scoop dough and drop onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 12 minutes. Cool the cookies completely on the cookie sheet. 
  • Store in the refrigerator.
