Dessert: Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies

Recipe by Joy Bauer, MS, RD Like a chocolate chip cookie, but with a fraction of the calories.

Ingredients

3 egg whites
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. Sea salt
1/2 c. superfine sugar
1/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp. Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 c. mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Using an electric mixer with whisk, beat egg whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar and sea salt; beat until soft peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add sugar, beating until incorporated, then beat to form stiff glossy peaks, 5 minutes. On low speed, mix vanilla and cocoa powder. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
Transfer mixture to a large resealable plastic bag; cut off one corner. Pipe 2" rounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 200 degrees F for 2 hours. Turn off oven and let meringues dry, about 2 hours.
