Ingredients
- 3 large Egg whites
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Mini chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a clean, completely dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on low speed using a hand or stand mixer until foamy.
Step 3
Add the salt and gradually increase the speed to medium-high, beating until soft peaks form.
Step 4
With the mixer running, gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until the mixture reaches stiff, glossy peaks. This may take 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Gently fold in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the meringue.
Step 6
Using a spoon or piping bag, drop small mounds of the meringue mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the cookies are dry and can be easily lifted from the parchment paper.
Step 8
Turn off the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly open. This step helps them dry out and prevents cracking.
Step 9
Once cooled, store the meringue cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
