01 Step

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). (5 minutes)
02 Step

In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. (3-5 minutes)
03 Step

Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff, unwavering peaks. (5-7 minutes)
04 Step

Gently fold in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Be careful not to deflate the meringue. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop the meringue mixture by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie. (5 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Immediately turn off the oven. (1 minute)
07 Step
Recipe View
Leave the meringues in the oven overnight (or for at least 8 hours) with the door closed, allowing them to cool completely and dry out. (8 hours)
08 Step
Recipe View
In the morning, gently remove the cookies from the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container lined with parchment paper to maintain their crispness.
For best results, use room-temperature egg whites. They whip up to a greater volume.
Ensure your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of any grease, as this can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
Don't be tempted to open the oven door during the drying process, as this can cause the meringues to crack.
Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate or add-ins, such as chopped nuts or dried fruit.
These cookies are best enjoyed within a few days of baking.
