The wonderful union of chocolate and mint makes these crispy, airy flourless cookies feel like a guilty pleasure. For a delicious variation, you can opt for white chocolate chips and vanilla in place of the mint. To ensure for even baking, drop the same amount of egg white mixture for each cookie. Use a measuring spoon to scoop the egg mixture, then push it on to the baking sheet with another spoon. There’s no need to flatten the cookies because they’ll spread as they bake. Make them up to two days ahead, and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
