After my mom converted to Judaism 20-something years ago, she went to a Jewish cooking class because she loves to bake and wanted to learn some recipes she could make for holidays. She has been making these chocolate kiss cookies for years and they are really yummy. They are very rich and chocolate-y. Even though they are specifically made for Passover (because they don't contain flour or yeast), I think they are delicious for everyday entertaining as well!
The key is making sure you don't let the cookie dough be exposed to the air very long and that you spoon them quickly and bake right away.
Passover Chocolate Kisses
1 small package chocolate chips
2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp. white vinegar
1/8 tsp. salt
Melt chocolate in microwave according to directions on package, and cool. Beat egg whites and salt until foamy. Add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating after each. Continue beating until mixture stands in stiff peaks. Add vinegar and vanilla, beat well. FOLD in coconut, nuts, and melted chocolate. Drop from teaspoon onto greased baking sheet. Bake 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Do not overbake.
Makes about 30 cookies. Takes appx. 20 minutes total.

These look great! I didn't get to try them this past Passover b/c I had already bought ingredients for a cake I had planned on making. I will definitely give them a try though. Thanks again for the recipe!
