2 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup walnut halves, toasted and finely chopped

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 275°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium, clean, grease-free bowl with an electric mixer on high speed, whip egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and whip until soft peaks form. Add sugar gradually, whipping until stiff but not dry peaks form. Beat in vanilla. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop by generously rounded teaspoon 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.

Time 3h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

7 ounces egg whites
16 ounces confectioners' sugar
1 cup cocoa
1/2 cup nuts (I usually use sliced almonds or walnuts) (optional)

Steps:

beat egg whites until stiff peaks form in a glass or aluminum bowl.
fold in sugar and cocoa, mixing well.
fold in nuts (if using them).
using a spoon and a spatula place ~2 T lumps of the batter on an un-greased baking sheet. This is key--there must be no fat that touches the batter or else the meringues will collapse.
bake at 200F for several hours (welcome suggestions on temp and time). I usually bake them for 2+ hours and then let them sit in the oven for several more hours until the insides are not gooey.
