I love the texture of the crunchy meringue before reaching the soft chocolatey inside of the cookie. The chocolate flavor itself is amazing, because it’s only flavored by dark cocoa powder. It’s the best way to have a non-overpowering chocolate touch in such a delicate dessert!

Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they’re foamy. Add the cream of tartar and sugar to the mix. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the cocoa powder. Place the chocolate mixture into a piping bag and pipe small dollops onto a prepared baking sheet. Bake the meringues before allowing them to cool at room temperature.
