Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. and place oven racks in the middle positions. Line one or two sheet pans with foil or kitchen parchment. Set aside.

Beat the egg whites with the salt to a soft peak stage. Add the sugar slowly, beating until the mixture is very thick. Stir in the cocoa powder, vanilla, and chopped chocolate.

Place walnut-size mounds of the batter on the sheet pans and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until dry on the surface but still soft inside.
