These easy cookies are relatively low in fat and they're very easy to prepare and bake. Feel free to use chopped pecans or coconut instead of the chopped walnuts.

Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 large egg whites, room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (4 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
Preparation:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, brown paper, or a silicone baking mat; spray with nonstick baking spray or grease.
Heat oven to 325°.
Beat egg whites until foamy; beat in the salt. Gradually beat in the sugar and continue beating on high speed until very thick and the mixture holds stiff peaks. Fold in the vanilla and cooled melted chocolate. Fold in nuts. Bake for about 9 or 10 minutes, until firm but still soft.
Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
