Calories: 108kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups confectioners' sugar
- ¾ cup dutch processed cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract make sure its gluten free
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Whisk together confectioner's sugar, cocoa powder, salt and orange zest in a medium sized bowl.
- Slowly whisk in egg whites and vanilla extract until combined. Continue folding the batter with a spatula. The mixture will get harder and harder to mix and will be quite thick. This is completely normal.
- Spoon tablespoons of batter on parchment lined baking sheet inch apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes then cool.
- Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and serve. I love them warm.
Notes
Don't skimp on the orange zest! It's what brings all the orange flavor to these cookies.
Don't worry if the cookie dough is thick, it's actually supposed to be that way.
Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the pan before moving them to a wire rack. This allows them to set up a bit more.
These cookies spread! Be sure to leave space in between your cookies.
