Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with wax paper and grease the paper.

2. With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until frothy.

3. Sift the sugar, cocoa, flour, and coffee into the whites. Add the water and continue beating on low speed to blend, then on high for a few minutes until the mixture thickens. With a rubber spatula, fold in the walnuts.

4. Place generous spoonfuls of the mixture 1 inch apart on the prepared sheets. Bake until firm and cracked on top but soft on the inside, 12-15 minutes. With a metal spatula, transfer to a rack to cool.
