Chocolate cookie

Ingredients

300 g sugar
90 g cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
3-4 egg whites
40 g each of chopped dates, nuts and chocolate pieces  


Preparation

Mix sugar, cocoa powder and salt.

Beat the egg whites until stiff and mix in portions with the sugar-cocoa mixture.

Then add chopped dates, nuts and chocolate pieces to the dough.

Then chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (170 °C).

Place the dough with two teaspoons onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, leaving enough space between the heaps of dough.

Bake the cookies in the oven for about 10 - 14 minutes until they get dark.

Then let them cool on the baking tray for at least 10 minutes until the cookies become somewhat hard, then carefully remove them from the baking paper.
