Prep: 20 min. Bake: 50 min. + standing

Yield: 36 Servings

20 50 70

Ingredients

4 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon baking cocoa, divided

Directions

Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Add the extracts, cream of tartar and salt; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved.
Fold in 1/4 cup cocoa. Place mixture in a pastry or heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in the corner of bag. Pipe meringue in 2-in. circles onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake at 250° for 50-60 minutes or until set and dry. Turn off oven; leave cookies in oven for 1-1/2 hours.
Dust cookies with remaining cocoa. Carefully remove from parchment paper. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 3 dozen.

I'm about to make these for the second time. They were such a hit the first time I made them that I've gotten requests to make them again. It seems to be a tasty healthy-type cookie for my diabetic friends. They LOVE them! (I say 'them' because I myself being picky do not like the ingredients)

I suggest sifting the cocoa before adding. The first time I made them it clumped up while piping the cookies out.
