50 min | 20 min prep
10 cookies
- 2 egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup sugar substitute
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, lumps removed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Tip: Make sure your bowl is completely dry and clean of grease or the whites will not whip up enough.
- Preheat oven to 250°F
- Place egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean bowl or electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Whisk at highest speed until whites form soft peaks that hold their shape when you lift the whisk.
- Add the sugar substitute, 1 tablespoon at a time; whisk until whites turn glossy and form stiff peaks that hold their shape. Do not underbeat.

- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Fit a large star nozzle into a pastry bag. Fill pastry bag with meringue.
- Pipe 20 meringue kisses onto prepared sheets.
- Bake 30 minutes, until crisp and dry.

- Remove from baking sheet.
- Sandwich pairs of cooled cookies together with whipped topping.
