Cookie sheet lined with parchment paper 300o F. oven

1. In a medium bowl with an electric mixer beat egg whites until foamy.

2. Add cream of tartar and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.

3. If using instant coffee granules, add now.

4. Continue beating, gradually adding sugar.

5. When batter forms stiff peaks, carefully fold in chocolate chips or
alternatives.

6. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet.

7. Bake in a 300o F oven for 20 minutes.

8. Turn oven off, and leave meringues in the oven for at least an hour.

9. Carefully remove the cookies from the parchment--they crumble easily.

Hint: Eggs separate best when cold--eggs beat with more volume when at room
temperature. Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest V97 #116 by swass@global2000.net
