- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a clean, dry bowl, begin whipping the egg whites with a handheld mixer on low. Gradually increase speed, adding the cream of tartar and salt. Continue beating until soft peaks form.
- With the mixer on medium, slowly add sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Increase the speed to high, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Gently fold in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Spoon or pipe the meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring each cookie is an inch apart.
