These cookies have a double dose of chocolate from the batter and the chips. You could vary them by using white chocolate chips, or not adding the cocoa powder to the batter … or both!
Why not try them with butterscotch chips? You can also add chopped nuts.
Ingredients:
3 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Procedure:
Make sure egg whites are at room temperature.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees(f).
Combine egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla. Beat until soft peaks are formed (about 4 or 5 minutes).
While still beating, slowly add sugar, then beat until mixture becomes glossy and stiff peaks are formed.
Fold in cocoa and chocolate chips.
Push batter onto parchment lined cookie sheet and put in oven on middle rack. Reduce heat to 200 degrees(f) at once. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Turn off oven and let it cool before removing cookies.
A friend’s grandmother made meringues like this, but with peppermint chips.
That sounds yummy, too!
Must try this, as soon as Arizona cools down! Too hot to bake right now. But that will become a favorite for this chocolate lover!
