Description

These meringue cookies with chocolate chips and nuts are gluten free, but everyone will love them. They're easy cookies you don't need to watch over.

Ingredients

2 egg whites
2/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup miniature chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2 Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. Add vanilla extract and stir. Fold chocolate chips and pecans into the mixture. Drop by teaspoonful onto prepared baking sheet.
3 Bake in preheated oven for 1 minute. Turn oven off and let cookies continue to bake as the oven cools until light and crispy, 5 hours to overnight.
