Chocolate Meringue Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and salt; beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 6 minutes. Beat in cocoa. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts if desired., Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert # 806 round pastry tip. Fill the bag with meringue. Pipe 1-1/2-in. hearts 2 in. apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 300° for 20-25 minutes or until firm to the touch. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until medium peaks form. Sprinkle in white sugar with mixer running; beat until thoroughly combined. Fold in ground almonds and bread crumbs until evenly combined. Let meringue batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Stir confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder together in a small bowl.
• Beat 1 cup butter in a large bowl until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar mixture in 2 to 3 additions, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract and salt until combined.
• Scoop meringue batter onto baking sheets in 2-tablespoon portions.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 10 minutes.
• Flip each meringue cookie over; frost with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture. Arrange on a flat plate or baking sheet.
• Freeze meringue cookies until firm, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Combine semisweet chocolate and 6 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until glaze is smooth.
• Dip each cookie into the glaze, frosted-side down, until completely coated. Refrigerate or freeze until set.

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In large bowl, beat butter and 1 cup of the sugar with electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Add whole egg and almond extract, beating until blended. On low speed, beat in flour mixture until blended. Cover; refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. In large bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Add remaining 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Fold in almonds.
• Roll dough by 2 heaping teaspoonfuls into balls. On cookie sheet, place balls 2 inches apart. Press balls with palm of hand to flatten slightly. In center of each flattened cookie, place 2 chocolate chunks. Spoon 2 heaping tablespoonfuls meringue over each cookie, covering chocolate chunks completely.
• Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until meringue is set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Store in airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350.
• Grease the cookie sheets, and cover with parchment paper or wax paper.
• (I usually spray the paper with non-stick vegetable spray).
• Melt the chocolate chips over hot water in double boiler.
• If you prefer (and this is the way I prefer doing it), you can melt them in the microwave.
• Start by cooking for 20 seconds.
• Stir and return to the microwave for another 10 seconds.
• Stir again, and repeat the process until all the chips are melted.
• Beat the egg whites until foamy, and then begin gradually adding the sugar while continuing to beat.
• Beat until stiff.
• Then beat in the vanilla and vinegar.
• Gently fold in the chocolate and nuts, if desired.
• Drop the batter, a teaspoon at a time, onto the sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each.
• Bake for 10 minutes or until firm to the touch.
• Remove immediately from sheets.
• Store in airtight container.
• NOTE: Try not to store these for too long.
• Although they will keep, they will dry out a bit and lose that gooeyness inside somewhat, which is what makes them so special.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Sift 1/4 cup of cocoa over the meringue, and fold so that streaks of cocoa remain.
• Fill a pastry bag fitted with a tip of your choice (we used an Ateco #5 star tip); pipe out cookies in small coils or desired shapes onto baking sheet. Sift remaining cocoa over cookies; bake until cookies lift off parchment easily, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and granulated sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until the egg whites are stiff and shiny and the sugar granules cannot be felt in the whites. Beat in the vanilla, reduce speed to low and add cocoa until combined. With a spatula put the egg white mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 2-inch meringue "kisses" on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Bake in the middle of oven for 2 hours. Turn off oven and leave the meringues in it for at least 2 more hours or until meringues are completely dry.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Combine egg whites, cream of tartar, and vanilla. Beat until the whites form soft peaks. Slowly add sugar; beat until stiff peaks form, and mixture becomes glossy. Fold in cocoa and chocolate chips.
• Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls on to a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, beat egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, vanilla and cocoa powder until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until meringue is stiff and glossy (about 90 seconds more after all sugar has been added). Please note that it is important to beat the whites long enough. The cookies will spread and be thinner rather than lofty (as shown in the pic) if poured on the sheet prematurely. You don't want the whites to break (start to get crumbly and break a part) .that will result in failed meringues but you are going to beat these a long time -- sometimes it takes me 5 minutes or more! A stand mixer sure is a plus here. What we are doing is incorporating air into the egg whites. That is what makes these cookies lofty, big and light in texture!
• Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
• On a parchment-lined baking sheet, drop meringue by the 1/4 cup (I like to use an ice cream scoop with a release).
• For chewy cookies with a slightly crispy outer crust: Bake until dry and slightly crispy on outside about 1 hour. Let cool on baking sheets and then remove to an airtight container with sheets of parchment paper in between layers.
• For crispy more traditional meringues, cook until dry and crispy through about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool on baking sheets. Let cool on baking sheets and then remove to an airtight container with sheets of parchment paper in between layers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl using an electric mixer on low speed until foamy. Add sugar slowly, continuing to beat until meringue is smooth, shiny, and satiny, about 10 minutes. Let stand while coating 2 baking sheets with butter and flour.
• Add cocoa powder to egg white mixture slowly, 1/2 tablespoon at a time. Beat on medium power until very smooth and evenly colored.
• Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until each cookie comes off the baking sheet cleanly, 1 to 2 hours.
