Total Time: 28 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 8 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 large egg whites
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350.
• 2 prepare two large cookie sheets with parchment paper. (i love this stuff because you don't need any additional grease or vegetable spray -- plus you can wash and reuse them.).
• 3 melt chocolate chips in the microwave. start with 1 minute. stir and cook another minute. stir again and let them cool while you're making the meringue.
• 4 beat egg whites until foamy. add sugar a bit at a time and continue beating until stiff.
• 5 beat in the vanilla and vinegar.
• 6 pour the melted chocolate over the top of the meringue distributing it in a stream around the top rather than all in one spot.
• 7 gently fold chocolate into meringue. (option to add chopped walnuts here also.).
• 8 use 1/2 teaspoon rounded to drop batter onto sheets leaving about 1-1/2 inches between cookies.
• 9 bake for 8 minutes or until firm to touch.
• 10 slide parchment off cookie sheet onto cooling rack. let stand about 10 minutes to cool before moving them and they're less likely to break.
