Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Put 1 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave for another minute, or until the chocolate chips are fully melted.
Put egg whites in a large bowl and whisk with electic mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes. Gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar while continuing to mix, then mix for another 3 minutes.
Add 1 more cup of powdered sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt to the egg mixture and mix on low speed until incorporated. Add melted chocolate and the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and stir it in with a spoon until uncorporated.
Put the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar on a plate. Take 1 heaping tablespoon of the dough and roll into a ball. Roll the dough ball in powdered sugar so it's fully coated with powdered sugar. Put the rolled ball on a parchment-paper-covered baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing the balls on a baking sheet 2 inches apart.
Put the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Take the chocolate crinkle cookies out of the oven and let them cool on a baking sheet.
