Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 egg whites, warmed in the shell (submerge whole eggs in warm water)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

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 tablespoon every five seconds), and continue to beat until meringue is stiff and glossy, about 1 1/2 minutes more. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop meringue by scant 1/4 cups onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until dry and just golden brown, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Let cool on baking sheets.

                I have used this recipe for years.  I don't use the cream of tarter.  I turn the oven on 225 and put the meringues on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.  When 225 is reached, I close the door, turn the oven off and go to bed.  They are perfect when you get up the next morning.

                I love this recipe! My Mom made these in the 70's as well.  I am not able to eat any butter, milk, etc... so any cookie that has no dairy in it makes me so happy!  I found a choc. chip that has no dairy in it either & tastes great.  These are going into my 2011 Holiday cookie baking !

                Don't worry about getting the chips in the middle of the merigue.  Just fold them into the mixture and drop onto parchment.  Like any meringue bake them slowly at a low temp.  You can sprinkle them with cocoa after baking, but adding something different to the mixture before baking might cause them to "weep" (form a puddle).

                I just made these and they are so yummy! I live in Florida and have heard that the more humid climates can alter the results but these worked perfectly! I used mini chocolate chips instead and they look beautiful! I made a batch not even 24 hours ago and already need to make more because everyone ate them up! 
                kattyface: the liquid may be from the extra moisture from the added lemon zest... not sure though.

                has anyone else had a puddle of amber syrup-like stuff under each meringue? do you know what this is? did i mix something wrong?
                
                i added lemon zest which added a nice fresh flavor!

                I have also made these for years. Sometimes I make them plain, sometimes adding cocoa, sometimes chips and sometimes ground nuts, sometimes all 3.
                BUT the main difference is I make them at the end of my regular cookie baking. Just drop the meringues onto cookie sheet lined w/aluminum foil or parchment paper, pop into the hot oven and turn it off. Leave for 8 hours or overnight. Don't know just how this might work in a gas stove.

                The chocolate chips are all through the cookie, not just in the center. try using mint chocolate chips for a minty taste.

                These are really special if you use MINT chocolate chips.  You can add a bit of green or red food coloring.  They look great on a holiday cookie platter!

                I was wondering the same thing as almost does below-- the picture makes it look like a surprise filling recipe when it really isn't one. I'm going to try omitting the chips from the meringue and dropp 1/8 cup of meringue, then some chips, then another 1/8 c of meringue to cover, then baking as directed.

The warming the egg whites is a good tip for divinity!!!  The whites whip up so nice.  Easy recipe and well worth the effort--thank you Martha!

                These are my favorite cookies.  My mom made them when I was a little girl and she added cornflakes and they are moist and chewy on inside.  We also added food coloring depending on the holiday. green, red for Christmas, pink, blue, yellow for Easter, etc.  I now make them for my grandkids.  They have always been a family favorite.

                Sharelle, depends on how humid your particular climate is--the drier the climate, the more time you have. Also not a good idea to make them on a rainy day. I live in Denver, where humidity is NOT a problem. I make meringue cookies all the time, and store them in a tightly covered container. I don't make them more than two or three days ahead of time. Hope this helps.

                These sound easy and very good, but for us beginning meringue makers,
                how do you store these and how far ahead of say Thanksgiving Day, could
                these be made?

                My cousin brings these to family gatherings often. I love 'em! I like to substitute chopped pecans for the chocolate chips.  


                    
                i have been making these for years.  i add chopped nuts when i add the chips.
                very easy and perfect everytime.  for great results bake an hour then leave in the oven. turn oven off. without opening oven leave in overnight.  


                    
                Sharelle, depends on how humid your particular climate is--the drier the climate, the more time you have. Also not a good idea to make them on a rainy day. I live in Denver, where humidity is NOT a problem. I make meringue cookies all the time, and store them in a tightly covered container. I don't make them more than two or three days ahead of time. Hope this helps.  


                    
                These sound easy and very good, but for us beginning meringue makers,
                how do you store these and how far ahead of say Thanksgiving Day, could
                these be made?

                These are great, but I use the mini chips instead of the
                big ones.
