These delicate little cookies are the perfect combination of vanilla and chocolate. They are light and airy and melt-in-your-mouth which makes them an irresistible treat. Make them to share with a crowd at a party or to give them as gifts during the holiday season. If you prefer chewy meringues, make them the day before you plan to eat them. You can make these cookies mini if you prefer. Just use heaping teaspoons of batter; not tablespoons. Or for a decorative, star-shaped appearance, spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe into mounds.

4 spray(s)

All-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200ºF.
  2. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray; coat with a light dusting of flour and shake off excess.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form; gently fold in chocolate and vanilla extract.
  4. Drop mixture by heaping tablespoons onto prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart, making 24 cookies.
  5. Bake until lightly golden and no longer sticky on the surface, about 1 hour. Turn oven off and let cookies sit in oven for 1 hour. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
