Chocolate Chip Meringues

Chocolate Chip Meringues... they're as amazing as they sound.  And SO, so easy.  

Ingredients
4 egg whites, warmed in the shell (submerge whole eggs in shell in warm water)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup super fine baking sugar
8 oz semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 225 degrees.  In a medium bowl, beat egg whites, salt, cream of tartar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar (1 tbsp every 5 seconds) and continue to beat until meringue is stiff and glossy, about 1.5 minutes more.  Gently fold in chocolate chips...



















































Drop meringue by 1/4 cup dollops onto parchment-lined baking sheets...































Bake until dry and just golden brown, about 1 to 1.5 hours.  Let cool on baking sheets.  (Be careful not to burn, continue to check on them after an hour!)





























And that's it.  So simple!





























Give a little extra love to the packaging and you've got a really an easy and decadent gift for the holidays!
