Noni’s Forgotten Cookies

Recipe courtesy of Alison Couture from LaCucina Sweets.

Ingredients

2 egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Beat egg whites until frothy. Add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. In the meantime, cover a cookie sheet with foil. Once stiff peaks have formed, turn off mixer and clean beaters. Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonful onto foil-lined pan. Place pan in oven and turn off the heat. Leave pan in oven overnight or until the oven is cool. Store in a dry, airtight container.

You can make the meringues with or without chocolate chips. You can also decorate with decorating sugar before placing in the oven.

Instead of using a teaspoon you can use cake decorating bags and tips. If using a cake decorating bag and tip it can be difficult to get the chocolate chips out without plugging the tip. It is easier to sprinkle on top after piping shape.
