DEATH BY CHOCOLATE: COCOA MERINGUE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F.
• Using a 9-inch cake circle as a guide, with a pencil trace a circle on a sheet parchment paper cut to fit a baking sheet. Turn the paper over and with trace mark down, place on a baking sheet.
• Place 4 egg whites, 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a balloon whip. Whisk on high speed until soft peeks form, about 45 to 50 seconds. Gradually add 1 cup sugar while continuing to whisk on high speed. Whisk until stiff about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber spatula to fold in and thoroughly combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Fill a pastry bag (with no tip) with cocoa meringue. Fill the traced circle with meringue: start in the center and pipe a 3/4-inch wide spiral towards the outside of the circle. Place the meringue in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 200 degrees F. and bake for 2 hours and 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the cocoa meringue to cool on baking sheet for 45 minutes before handling. Adjust the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.

CHOCOLATE CHIP MERINGUE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, beat egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, vanilla and cocoa powder until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until meringue is stiff and glossy (about 90 seconds more after all sugar has been added). Please note that it is important to beat the whites long enough. The cookies will spread and be thinner rather than lofty (as shown in the pic) if poured on the sheet prematurely. You don't want the whites to break (start to get crumbly and break a part) .that will result in failed meringues but you are going to beat these a long time -- sometimes it takes me 5 minutes or more! A stand mixer sure is a plus here. What we are doing is incorporating air into the egg whites. That is what makes these cookies lofty, big and light in texture!
• Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
• On a parchment-lined baking sheet, drop meringue by the 1/4 cup (I like to use an ice cream scoop with a release).
• For chewy cookies with a slightly crispy outer crust: Bake until dry and slightly crispy on outside about 1 hour. Let cool on baking sheets and then remove to an airtight container with sheets of parchment paper in between layers.
• For crispy more traditional meringues, cook until dry and crispy through about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool on baking sheets. Let cool on baking sheets and then remove to an airtight container with sheets of parchment paper in between layers.

EMILY LUCHETTI'S CHOCOLATE CHIP MERINGUE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment.
• In bowl of a standing mixer fitted with whip attachment, beat egg whites on medium speed until airy and peaks start to form. Slowly add sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and turn speed to high. Beat until stiff and shiny, another 5 minutes.
• Fold in chocolate chips, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and salt.
• Drop by heaped tablespoons or scoop onto baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Cookies will not spread when they bake. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until the outsides are dry and you can lift the cookies from the parchment. They will lift off more easily once cool. Store in an airtight container.

COCOA MERINGUES WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 140°C (285°F) and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or foil.
• Separate eggs, being sure NO traces of yolk gets into whites.
• Get out a clean, dry bowl (no moisture or tracks of soap or fat). LIGHTLY dampen a paper towel with white vinegar and wipe down inside of bowl & mixing blades. Wipe dry with a fresh paper towel.
• Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in bowl.
• Using an electric whisk or the whisk attachment of your stand mixer, whisk slowly until bubbles form, then at medium for 1 minute, then on high until soft peaks form.
• Keep whisking continuously as you add in the sugar, one tablespoon at a time: wait until each tablespoon is fully incorporated before you add the next. Once all the sugar is incorporated the mixture should be smooth and firm and glossy gorgeous.
• Whisk in the vanilla on low until incorporated. Add cocoa on low, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Gently fold the chocolate chips in by hand with a spatula.
• Using 2 spoons (dinner table sized), or a cookie scoop & spoon, form loose blobs onto prepared cookie sheets. Allow room between blobs to spread, about 12 per sheet.
• For soft centered "mallowy heart" meringues bake for 45 minutes, then remove sheet from oven and let sit for 5 minutes on sheets before transferring to cooling racks.
• For fully baked meringues bake 1 hour, then turn off oven, crack the door and let cool inside for a few hours.
• Once cool, store in a tightly sealed container and eat within a few days.
