• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

In mixing bowl, beat egg whites on high speed with an electric mixer until they hold stiff peaks. Slowly beat in sugar. Reduce speed to low and evenly dispense vanilla. Gently fold in chocolate chips.

Drop mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls onto parchment lines baking sheets. Bake at 250 degrees F for one hour. Turn off oven, leaving cookies in oven for two hours longer.

Try chopped pecans as a substitution for the chocolate chips.
