These light, delicate chewy cookies sure make for merry munching. Their big chocolate flavor makes it difficult to keep the kids away from them long enough to get any on the cookie tray. -Edna F. Lee, Greeley, Colorado

SERVINGS: 24

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 30 min./batch + cooling

Ingredients:

  • 3 egg whites
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup baking cocoa
  • GLAZE:
  • 3 squares (1 ounce each) semisweet chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon shortening

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in cocoa.
    Insert a #8b large open star tip into a pastry bag; fill half full with meringue. Pipe stars, about 1-1/4-in. diameter, or drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake at 300° for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from paper; cool on wire racks.
    In a heavy saucepan or microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip the cookies halfway into glaze; place on waxed paper until set. Yield: about 4 dozen.
