Instructions
- 1In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will take about 5-7 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- 2Gradually add the powdered sugar to the beaten egg whites, continuing to beat until well combined. Then, gently fold in the ground sweet chocolate, chopped walnuts, and flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- 3Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter or cooking spray.
- 4Drop the cookie batter by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
