List of Ingredients



• 2 egg whites, at room temperature
  
• 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
  
• 1/8 tsp salt
  
• 3/4 cup sugar
  
• 1/2 tsp real vanilla extract
  
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  






Instructions



1. Lightly grease cookie sheets.
   
   
2. With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites in a small bowl until the whites are foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt, and continue beating until soft peaks form. Add the sugar a tablespoon at a time, beating continuously, until the egg whites are stiff, white and glossy. Using a spoon, fold in the chocolate chips.
   
   
3. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheets, leaving about 1-1/2 inches in between each one. Bake in an oven preheated to 250º F for 40 minutes. Cool completely on a rack, then store in an airtight container.
   
   Makes about 4 dozen.
