Ingredients 2 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar 2 cups walnuts, ground in processor 7 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 extra large egg whites, beaten lightly 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions Preheat oven to 350.

Form rounded tablespoons of the mixture into balls, put the balls on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, and with the bottom of a glass press them gently into disks. Bake the cookies in batches in the oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the tops appear dry and the cookies are lighter in color, and transfer them to racks to cool.
