LOW FAT CHOCOLATE CHEWIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F and place oven racks in the middle positions.
• Line one or two sheet pans with foil or kitchen parchment. Set aside.
• Beat the egg whites with the salt to a soft peak stage (when the tops of the peaks fall over when whip is removed).
• Add the sugar slowly, beating until the mixture is very thick.
• Stir in the cocoa powder, vanilla, and chopped chocolate.
• Place walnut-size mounds of the batter on the sheet pans and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until dry on the surface but still soft inside.
• Slide the foil or parchment with its cookies onto a cooling rack and cool for 5 minutes.
• Peel the foil or parchment off the still-warm cookies and cool them completely on rack.
