Pinteresting Recipes

We love finding new recipes on Pinterest! We've even found some we absolutely love, like this Deep Dark Chocolate Cookie.

This was just as good as the picture looked, as easy as the recipe described ... mine turned out a little flatter than the original picture but we believe it's because our egg whites had not sat out long enough to get to room temperature. 

Letting egg whites warm, does help them get fluffier and whip better. We knew this, but were too impatient to try these!

We followed the recipe pretty closely, only where she reduced the powdered sugar, we used the full amount, 2 cups in the cookies and 1/2 cup to roll the cookies in before baking. We also used parchment paper instead of spraying the pan with oil. We use parchment with almost all our baking!

The recipe:
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 large egg whites, room temp.
2 1/2 cup pwd sugar
1/2 cup cocoa pwd - we use European style. It's darker and richer. 
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt

Please check out the original posting for a great description of how to make these cookies along with pictures for each step! 

They've even got it printable ...

  1. We actually just tried the cookie recipe that calls for chick peas, the one going around Pinterest, it tastes pretty good but it's nearly impossible to blend those chick peas fine enough. There were chunks of peas in the cookies ... so unless you've got a phenomenal food processor or blender, don't attempt it. http://pinterest.com/pin/182536591118144597/
