Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 egg whites, beaten
• ½ cup melted butter
• ½ teaspoon espresso powder (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and espresso powder together in a bowl; beat in egg whites. Stir flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Mix flour mixture into egg mixture until batter is combined. Spread batter as thin as a slice of American cheese onto the baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until batter is nearly cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven; cut a shallow square pattern into the batter with a sharp knife. Place back into the oven; bake until batter is crisp, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely; break into squares.
