For best results, ensure your butter is truly at room temperature – soft enough to easily cream but not melted. When beating the egg whites, make sure your bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease, as this can prevent the whites from whipping properly. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate. If you prefer a less sweet cookie, you can reduce the amount of brown sugar in the meringue topping slightly. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
