Emily Luchettis Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies Recipes

EMILY LUCHETTI'S CHOCOLATE CHIP MERINGUE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment.
• In bowl of a standing mixer fitted with whip attachment, beat egg whites on medium speed until airy and peaks start to form. Slowly add sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and turn speed to high. Beat until stiff and shiny, another 5 minutes.
• Fold in chocolate chips, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and salt.
• Drop by heaped tablespoons or scoop onto baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Cookies will not spread when they bake. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until the outsides are dry and you can lift the cookies from the parchment. They will lift off more easily once cool. Store in an airtight container.
