Hot Chocolate Meringues - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
4 egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Preparation

Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line two baking sheets with nonstick foil or parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder and ground cinnamon.
Place egg whites into a bowl and add cream of tarter.
Begin beating egg whites on low speed until foamy. Increase to medium speed and add sugar mixture, one tablespoon at a time, until medium-stiff peaks form.
Transfer mixture to a pastry bag and pipe a small disk onto prepared baking sheets about an inch apart. (I got 12 large meringues per baking sheet.).
Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour, 30 minutes. DO NOT open the oven door during cooking time or the meringues may collapse.
Turn off oven and let meriggues sit in oven for 1/2 hour.
Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
