3 large egg whites (1 T. dry egg white powder + 3 T. water)
1/2 t. cream of tartar
2/3 C. sugar
2 heaping T. baking cocoa
about 1/3 C. chopped pecans
Heat oven to 275. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Beat egg whites and cream of
tartar in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Beat in sugar, 1
tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff and glossy. Do not under beat. Fold in
cocoa. Batter will not be mixed completely; there will be some streaks of cocoa. Drop by
spoonfuls on parchment paper. Bake 25-30 minutes or until outside is crisp and dry
(meringues will be soft inside). Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
