The batter uses whipped egg whites folded with vanilla extract to achieve a thick, brownie-like consistency that yields cookies with a shiny and cracked surface.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate almonds can use regular almonds, pecans, or walnuts, chopped
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder Dutch processed, 3 tablespoons
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips mini, semi-sweet
- 4 egg white
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped almonds, powdered sugar, cocoa, salt, and mini chocolate chips. Stir to combine. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment to beat egg whites until they are white and foamy, but are not stiff peaks. Fold in the vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of beaten egg whites and gently stir with a spatula until combined. The batter will be thick, like brownie batter.
- Use a 2 tablespoon sized cookie scoop to form cookie dough balls. Place the dough balls about two-inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes, until the cookies are puffed, shiny and cracked. Remove cookies from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes. Use a spatula to remove cookies from the baking sheet and place on a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Note-if you don't have cocoa almonds, you can use regular almonds or walnuts. If you need the cookies to be gluten-free, make sure you check the packaging of the chocolate chips and cocoa to make sure they are gluten-free.
