• Servings: 3
• 2 egg whites
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups ground walnuts
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Recipe

• preheat oven to 350 degrees f ( 175 degrees c ). line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• in a small bowl mix together the egg whites, sugar, and nuts until well blended. drop dough by teaspoonfuls, three inches apart, the lined cookie sheets. using the back of a spoon, dipped in water, flatten into rounds about 1.5 inches in diameter. bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. cookies should be lightly browned. let cool slightly before removing from sheets. if the cookies are stuck, they need to be baked a little longer.
• in a plastic bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave oven, stirring every 15 or 30 seconds until smooth and creamy. this can also be done over a double boiler. spread the chocolate the flat side of a cookie and stick it together with the flat side of another cookie to make a sandwich until all the cookies are used up.
