Number Of Ingredients 6

3 egg whites
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons toasted, chopped pecans
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add brown sugar and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Beat in vanilla. Fold in chopped pecans. Using a teaspoon, dollop the meringue into 11/2-inch rounds onto parchment paper-lined pans. Bake 1 hour. Turn oven off and allow meringues to cool completely in oven. Optional drizzle: Place semisweet chocolate chips in a 1-cup glass, microwave-safe measuring cup. Microwave on high power 30 seconds. Stir and continue to microwave in 15-second intervals until chocolate is melted. Place melted chocolate in a sandwich bag. Clip a small piece off one corner and drizzle chocolate over cookies.
