Cocoa Kisses Recipe
- 3 egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar
- 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) salt
- 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup (125 mL) chopped pecans
- Baking sheet, sprayed with baking spray
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
- In a large bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually add sugar and salt, beating until mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form. Beat in vanilla. Sift cocoa into bowl; fold into meringue along with pecans.
- Put mixture in a pastry bag fitted with star tip; pipe small kisses onto prepared baking sheet (alternatively, drop mixture by teaspoonfuls (5 mL) onto baking sheet). Bake for 1 hour or until firm and dry.
