With only a few ingredients, you can whip up these crispy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside treats. Using a spoon to scoop the meringues is the easiest way to shape them, but for a more elegant touch, try a piping bag with a large round tip.

Ingredients

Egg whites

3 item(s)

Kosher salt

1 pinch(es)

Cream of tartar

¼ tsp

Vanilla extract

1 tsp

Superfine sugar

¾ cup(s)

Chocolate wafer

12 item(s), finely crushed, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Using an electric mixer, in a large bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla and beat until medium peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar, 2 tbsp at a time, until the egg whites are firm and glossy. Reserve 2 tbsp crushed cookies for the topping. Using a spatula, gently fold the remaining crushed cookies into the egg whites without deflating them.
  3. Using a mini cookie scoop or large soup spoon, scoop the egg whites onto the prepared pans to make 30 cookies, spacing them 2 inches apart. Sprinkle the tops with the reserved cookie crumbs.
  4. Bake the cookies for 1½ hours. Open the oven door and prop it open slightly to let the cookies cool completely in the oven. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  5. Serving size: 2 cookies
