Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 large egg whites
• 1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas (as a natural sweetener)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:

   • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your oven is at the right temperature for baking.

2. Prepare the Baking Sheet:

   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents the cookies from sticking and ensures easy removal after baking.

3. Mix the Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and mashed bananas. Mix thoroughly to integrate the banana completely and create a smooth, uniform mixture.
   • Add the egg whites to the cocoa and banana mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully combined. The mixture should be thick and glossy.

4. Shape the Cookies:

   • Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop dollops of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each cookie, as they will spread a bit during baking.

5. Bake:

   • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are firm and the surfaces look slightly crackled.

6. Cool:

   • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
