Ingredients

2 egg whites
0.13 teaspoon salt
0.13 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.75 cup white sugar
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper. Ensure all ingredients are readily available for a seamless baking experience.
In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks appear. Gradually introduce sugar while continuously whipping for approximately 5 minutes until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in chocolate chips, if desired, to add a chocolatey twist.
Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of the meringue mixture onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about one inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven until they are lightly browned, around 25 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheets for optimal crispness.
