Cinnamon Chocolate Meringues

Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.

With an electric beater on low speed, whip the egg whites and vanilla until frothy.

On a medium speed, add the cream of tartar and whip until they turn white and begin to stiffen.

Slowly add the sugar, whipping constantly, until the whites are stiff and glossy.

Sift the cocoa powder and cinnamon over the whites.

Gently fold the cocoa and pecans into the egg whites.

Drop heaping tablespoons of the batter, several inches apart, on parchment lined cookie sheets.

Bake for 45 minutes.

Turn the oven off and leave the cookies in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes with the door closed.

Store the cooled meringues in an airtight container.
