Flourless Double-Chocolae Pecan Cookies

3 cups confectioner's sugar
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
(spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans (or other type of nut)
4 large egg whites, room temperature.

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa and salt. Stir in chocolate and pecans. Add egg whites and stir just until incorporated (do not overmix).

2. Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls, 3 inches apart, onto two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets. Bake until cookie tops are dry and crackled, about 25 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cookies cool completely. (To store, keep in an airtight container up to 3 days.) Makes 12

Note: These are large cookies so I would suggest making them a little smaller. If you do that then they won't need to cook so long.

(Oh my gosh they're good)
