Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- a pinch of salt
- 2 large egg whites at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- sea salt
- chopped pistachios
- warm Nutella for drizzling
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 F and lining your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Add in the egg whites and vanilla extract and mix until a thick brownie like batter forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop spoons of dough onto the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. The cookies spread as they bake.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the tops begin to crack.
- Once you take them out of the oven, make sure they completely cool before removing from the parchment. If they are still warm, they will stick.
- In a small bowl, warm the Nutella in the microwave for a few seconds until smooth enough to drizzle.
- Drizzle the Nutella on top of each cookie, then sprinkle on the sea salt and pistachios.
