Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Egg whites
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a clean, completely dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on low speed using a hand or stand mixer until foamy.
Add the salt and gradually increase the speed to medium-high, beating until soft peaks form.
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.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the meringue.
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.
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.
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.
Once cooled, store the meringue cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
