Pistachio-Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies
 
 
Pistachio-chocolate chip meringue cookies that are crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and majorly tasty.
Yield: 36 cookies
Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups (185g) shelled pistachios, coarsely chopped and toasted
  • 8 oz dark chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and cinnamon.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the egg whites and sugar until combined. Place over a pot of simmering water and heat until warm to the touch and sugar has dissolved, whisking constantly, 4-6 minutes.
  4. Transfer the bowl back to the mixer and, using the whisk attachment, beat until mixture is glossy and slightly stiff peaks form. Add in the vanilla and mix until combined.
  5. Switch the mixer to the paddle attachment. Add the flour mixture to the bowl and beat until just incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and then mix for another 5 seconds.
  6. Fold the pistachios and the chocolate chunks into the batter.
  7. Using a small ice cream or medium cookie scoop, drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cookies are hard and starting to crack on top, rotating the pans halfway through baking.
  8. Allow to cool on the pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Transfer to the racks to cool completely.
