Recipe - Chocolate-Walnut Meringues

2 cup Unsifted powdered sugar
One fourth cup Cocoa powder (not a mix)
1 Jumbo egg white
One half cup Finely ground walnuts
OR pecans

PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 300F. Beat all the ingredients together at the highest
mixer speed for about 1 minute, or mix them in a food processor fitted with
the metal chopping blade for about 30 seconds. The mixture will be about as
thick as fondant. With a stockinette covered rolling pin, welldusted with
powdered sugar, roll the mixture on a board, also liberally dusted with 10X
sugar, until it is 1/4inch thick. With a 1 1/2inch cutter dipped in 10X
sugar, cut the meringue into small circles. Reroll the scraps and cut as
many meringues as possible. Space the meringues about 1 One half inches apart on
baking sheets. The baking sheets should be liberally dusted with flour.
Bake them uncovered for 15 minutes. Cool the meringues for about 5 minutes
on the baking sheets; then, with a spatula, carefully loosen them. Transfer
them to wire racks. When they are cool, store them in airtight containers.
