HOT COCOA MERINGUES
Like the frothy topping on a cup of cocoa, these swirled chocolate meringue cookies are light, airy and-of course-dotted with marshmallows. For those who didn't grow up with meringues as a holiday cookie tray staple, it's a great time to get familiar with this delicate cookie. As alternative diets and gluten sensitivities become more prevalent, it's important to bake at least some cookies that'll make all your guests feel jolly, no matter how they eat! Like all meringues, this cookie does not use any flour, so it's gluten free. But we firmly believe that this cookie is much more about what is included than what isn't. Mixing Hershey's™ Special Dark™ cocoa in to part of the batter not only delivers rich chocolate taste (quite an accomplishment for a cookie that's so airy) but it also makes a beautiful swirl that makes them eye-catching. These cookies are perfect for bakers who want to expand their baking skills. Be sure to read the recipe all the way through before you start-a good idea for any cookie-so that you're set up to succeed!

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE: COCOA MERINGUE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees F.
- Using a 9-inch cake circle as a guide, with a pencil trace a circle on a sheet parchment paper cut to fit a baking sheet. Turn the paper over and with trace mark down, place on a baking sheet.
- Place 4 egg whites, 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a balloon whip. Whisk on high speed until soft peeks form, about 45 to 50 seconds. Gradually add 1 cup sugar while continuing to whisk on high speed. Whisk until stiff about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber spatula to fold in and thoroughly combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Fill a pastry bag (with no tip) with cocoa meringue. Fill the traced circle with meringue: start in the center and pipe a 3/4-inch wide spiral towards the outside of the circle. Place the meringue in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 200 degrees F. and bake for 2 hours and 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the cocoa meringue to cool on baking sheet for 45 minutes before handling. Adjust the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
