| 4 | | Egg whites (or 6 t. powdered "Just Whites" plus 1/2 c. warm water - it works!) |
| 1/4 | ts | Cream of tartar (not all recipes use it, if you don't have it) |
| 1/2 | c | Sugar (other recipes use up to 1 cup or more .. even 1/2 c. is very sweet to my taste and I like sweet) |
| 2 | ts | Espresso powder (can use instant coffee, I'm sure) |
| 2 | ts | Cocoa (I sprinkle it in over a small sieve to avoid lumps) |
| 1 | ts | Vanilla extract |
| | OPTIONAL |
| 2 | tb | Chocolate chips, chopped in the food processor or blender - use less to spread throughout the cookies - or you can use mini-chips, but I never have those around) |
