I am looking for a specific chocolate cookie recipe. I can buy them at
Central Market
and Whole Foods here in Dallas, Texas (used to several years ago at Tom
Thumb also)
but I want a recipe.

They are very unusual and hard for me to describe. They have nuts and are
very "crackled".
Very airy and chewy not a solid cookie. I'm thinking they must have lots of
egg whites.

Chocolate Delights

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups pecans, ground coarsely in food processor
7 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1/4 tsp. salt
2 extra large egg whites, slightly beaten*
1 tsp. vanilla


Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar,
pecans, cocoa, and salt. Add egg whites and vanilla and stir until mixture is
combined well. Spoon onto lightly oiled foil-lined sheets (or unbuttered
parchment) and bake 12 - 15 minutes or until the tops appear dry and light in
color. Let cool and remove from cookie sheet. Makes about 24 cookies.

*Be sure and use extra large egg whites - I've tried large and cookies don't
turn out as good.

I know when they were sold at Tom Thumb, they were called Chocolate
Chewies. You are correct, egg whites, cocoa, sugar, and pecans make up
most of the ingredients. I didn't find them on that web site, but
several of my cookbooks have them under some variation of Chocolate
Chewy cookies.

Good Luck.
