Instructions
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Add powdered sugar gradually, a couple tablespoons at a time, and cornstarch and beat until stiff peaks form.
Fold in cocoa until just incorporated.
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop batter onto prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for 1 hour then turn off oven and leave in until cool, approximately 2-4 hours.
When cookies are ready, place chocolate in a microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl.
Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in-between, until completely melted.
