Ingredients

4 servings

1 cup finely chopped pecans Cooking spray 3 cups powdered sugar ¼ teaspoon table salt 3 large egg whites, at room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips

Egg Snack

Instructions

Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Spread the pecans out in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 6 to 8 minutes, giving them a stir halfway through so they brown evenly. Once they’re fragrant and toasted, let them cool completely—this usually takes around 20 minutes.

Step 2

While the pecans cool, line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and give the paper a light spray with cooking spray to keep the cookies from sticking. In a large bowl, sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until they’re frothy—this should take about a minute and a half. Then, fold the egg whites and vanilla into the sugar and cocoa mixture. The batter will be thick, but don’t worry, that’s just how it should be.

Step 3

Next, stir in the chocolate chips and the toasted pecans until everything is well combined. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop generous spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons each) of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.

Step 4

Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, until the tops look shiny and cracked. Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely, which should take another 15 minutes or so. Enjoy!
