Ingredients

2/3 c Sugar; extra-fine preferred
2 Egg whites; see note
2/3 c Semi-sweet chocolate chips; mini chips
1/4 ts Pure vanilla extract
6 Saltine crackers; crushed,3T
1/4 ts Cream of tartar

Directions

Step #1 Pre-heat oven to 300F F.
Step #2 Prepare a cookie sheet by covering it with baker's parchment.
Step #3 In a totally grease-free mixing bowl, beat egg whites on high until frothy.
Step #4 Add vanilla & cream of tartar.
Step #5 Continue beating while slowly adding sugar.
Step #6 Make sure that sugar dissolves completely & that mixture is not grainy.
Step #7 (I find that Bartender's sugar dissolves most easily.
Step #8 ) When mixture is quite stiff (consistency of marshmallow fluff-- after about 5-10 mins.
Step #9 of beating), carefully fold in saltine crumbs and chocolate chips.
Step #10 Drop the meringue-like dough, 1 tsp at a time, onto prepared cookie sheet.
Step #11 I use a very small ice cream scoop for this purpose.
Step #12 They can be put right next to each other, they rise very little.
Step #13 Entire recipe fits on one cookie sheet.
Step #14 Bake for 20 mins.
Step #15 On a humid day, I usually turn the oven off 5 mins early & leave the cookies in the oven with the door closed until I'm ready to serve them.
Step #16 Yields about 60 1inch kisses.
Step #17 NOTES : Meringues can easy, if you know a few simple rules: 1) Everything that touches the egg whites must be absolutely grease-free.
Step #18 Fat breaks down the structure of beaten egg whites.
Step #19 Yolks contain fat, so it is important not to get any yolk into the whites.
Step #20 I run everything through the dishwasher before preparing meringues (mixing bowl, & tsp or ice-cream scoop) 2) Eggs separate best when cold, beaters, rubber spatula,but they beat up best at room temperature.
Step #21 An alternative to separating eggs is to use powdered egg whites.
Step #22 They are available in the supermarket as "Just Whites".
Step #23 I really like the fact that they are pasteurized (safe for taste-testing the batter) I don't recommend making this recipe on a very humid day unless you have reliable air-conditioning; it can really flop! I use fat-free salted top saltines.
Step #24 Nutr.
Step #25 Assoc.
Step #26 : 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4886.
