Beat egg whites until foamy. Combine sugar and cocoa. Add half of sugar mixture to egg whites and beat until peaks form. Add water and vanilla, a few drops at a time, alternately with the remaining sugar, whipping constantly.

Place on well greased cookie sheet 1-inch apart (I use an iced tea spoon) and bake in slow (275°F) oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

Remove from cookie sheet while still warm.

Makes about 50 kisses.
