Dark Chocolate Lava Cookies(Flourless, Oiless, Butterless, Yolkless)

Dark Chocolate Lava Cookies Makes about 24-26 cookies Each cookie is approx. 55 calories Ingredients: Nonstick cookie sheet lined with Parchment, silicone mat, or nonstick cooking spray 1 1/2 cups bittersweet or Dark chocolate chips (about 9 ounces) 3 large egg whites, room temperature 1 cups powdered sugar, divided (plus 1/2 cup for cookie coating -- optional-) 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon salt Mini chocolate chips (as much as you wish) I use 1/2 cup You may also add chopped nuts Instructions: Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare your baking sheets. Melt your chocolate in the microwaveable bowl, it will take approximately 2 minutes, check and stir every 30 seconds. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer in clean large bowl until soft peaks. Gradually beat in ½ cup of sugar.(its important you use powdered because granulated will not dissolve) Continue beating until you have a glossy mixture. Whisk ½ cup sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt in medium bowl to combine. On low speed, beat dry ingredients into your whipped egg whites. By now your chocolate should be slightly cooled, add the chocolate along with ½ cup of chocolate chips to the mixture. The more your mixture cools the stiffer it will get. (scoop-able with a spoon, I use a small cookie scoop) Place 1/2 cup sugar in bowl. Roll 1 rounded tablespoon dough into ball; roll in sugar, coating thickly. Place on prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until puffed and tops crack, about 9-10 minutes. Cool on sheets until completely cooled.
