Chocolate Fix Cookies

If you need a chocolate fix ASAP...make these!  They are slightly crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside and oh-so-chocolatey!  Even Cookie Monster approves.

Chocolate Fix Cookies
From Divine Baking

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, divided (I always prefer semisweet.)
3 large egg whites, room temperature
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, divided
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt

Melt 1 cup chocolate chips in glass bowl in microwave, stirring twice, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly.  Using electric mixer, beat whites in large bowl to soft peaks. Gradually beat in 1 cup sugar. Continue beating until mixture resembles soft marshmallow creme.  Whisk 1 cup sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt in medium bowl to blend. On low speed, beat dry ingredients into meringue. 

Stir in lukewarm chocolate and 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dough will become very stiff).

Place 1/2 cup sugar in bowl. Roll 1 rounded tablespoon dough into ball; roll in sugar, coating thickly.  (I skipped rolling in the sugar.) Place on baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing 2 inches apart.  Bake at 350 until puffed and tops crack, about 10 minutes. Cool on sheets on rack 10 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool.
