Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Sift the maida, cocoa powder, and baking powder together into a bowl. Set the dry mixture aside.
Place the egg whites and salt in a clean, completely dry mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until foamy and soft peaks begin to form.
Add the sugar gradually, about 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat. Once all the sugar has been added, beat at high speed until the meringue is thick, glossy, and holds stiff peaks.
Add the sifted dry ingredients in three additions. Gently fold after each addition with a spatula, stopping as soon as no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix or deflate the meringue.
Drop heaped teaspoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 cm between the cookies.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the surfaces are dry and the cookies lift easily from the parchment. For a crisper texture, turn off the oven and leave the cookies inside with the door slightly open for another 15 minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
