Mint-Chip Meringues

Ingredients

• 3 large egg whites
• 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 package mint chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. In large bowl with electric mixer, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until foamy. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form. Fold in mini chocolate pieces.

Lightly grease baking sheet or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls one inch apart onto prepared sheet. Bake 20 minutes or until just lightly golden. Let cool slightly on sheet; remove to wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining meringue. Makes 4 dozen.
