Ingredients
5egg whites
100gchocolate 99%
100gcocoa powder
100gerythritol
½tspvanilla
½tspmint extract
1pinchsalt
1pinchxanthan gum
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 170°C, cover a baking tray with parchment paper and grease it with butter.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites, vanilla and mint extracts, salt, and xanthan gum together until fluffy. Chop the chocolate into coarse crumbs and add them together with the erythritol and cocoa powder to the whites. Stir with a spatula until combined - you should have a sticky dough from which you can make the balls of future cookies.
Divide the dough into 12 balls (don't try to give the cookies a neat shape - they will still spread out highly artistically in the oven), place them on a baking tray spaced apart, and bake for about 10-12 minutes.
The finished cookies are very soft. Don't touch them for at least 15-20 minutes, and only then move them off the baking tray so as not to damage them.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
