Some of you asked me to post more gluten-free desserts. Well, here is one good recipe. These Chocolate Swirl Meringue Cookies are crispy on the outside and soft and chocolaty on the inside. I like to serve them with fresh berries. They are always disappearing so fast from the dessert table.

How to Make This Recipe
Preheat oven to 250oF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat egg whites and a pinch of salt on medium until frothy. Gradually add in sugar and continue beating on high until sugar dissolves.
Tip from Marina: To test if sugar dissolved, simply place a small amount of the meringue between 2 fingers and rub them together. The meringue should be smooth and without large sugar crystals.
Mix cornstarch and powdered sugar. Add to egg whites and continue beating for 5-7 min until batter is glossy and very stiff. Meanwhile, put chocolate into the pipping bag and melt in the microwave using 15-20 sec intervals. Add lemon juice to the meringue and continue beating for another minute. Drizzle melted chocolate over the meringue and mix with the help of the spatula for 2-3 times (not more). Spoon out the mixture and drop it onto parchment paper.
Lower oven temperature to 200oF and bake meringue for 2 hours. Do not open the oven door! Let the meringues cool completely in the oven. Gently peel chocolate meringues from the parchment paper and serve with fresh raspberries or other berries.
