CHOCOLATE MERINGUE COOKIES
There are the best chocolate meringues ... crispy on the outside and a bit gooey on the inside. It's like eating a rich fudgy brownie. You would never know they were not only fairly low in fat, but also in calories (at least for something that yummy and chocolatey). The recipe comes from the Creative Chef 2 Cookbook, put out by the Tourette's Association of America. It was one of the best cookbooks I ever had. Note: Although the cookies do expand somewhat, they shouldn't flatten and spread too much, as the thicker they are, the more fudgey the center will be. The extra room is also to allow for more air to circulate the meringue, making for a more even texture.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Grease the cookie sheets, and cover with parchment paper or wax paper.
- (I usually spray the paper with non-stick vegetable spray).
- Melt the chocolate chips over hot water in double boiler.
- If you prefer (and this is the way I prefer doing it), you can melt them in the microwave.
- Start by cooking for 20 seconds.
- Stir and return to the microwave for another 10 seconds.
- Stir again, and repeat the process until all the chips are melted.
- Beat the egg whites until foamy, and then begin gradually adding the sugar while continuing to beat.
- Beat until stiff.
- Then beat in the vanilla and vinegar.
- Gently fold in the chocolate and nuts, if desired.
- Drop the batter, a teaspoon at a time, onto the sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until firm to the touch.
- Remove immediately from sheets.
- Store in airtight container.
- NOTE: Try not to store these for too long.
- Although they will keep, they will dry out a bit and lose that gooeyness inside somewhat, which is what makes them so special.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets without sides with parchment paper.
- Melt 1 cup (6 oz.) of the chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water being careful not to get any steam in the chocolate. Or melt chocolate in the microwave, following the manufacturer's directions. Remove from heat and cool.
- Beat egg whites until frothy. Add salt and sugar while continuing to beat. Beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in vanilla and vinegar. Fold in the melted chocolate which has cooled, the chopped pecans and remaining chocolate chips. Do not worry about any white streaks which remain as these add visual interest.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet. These cookies do not spread, so you may space them rather closely together. Bake 10-12 minutes in preheated oven until crunchy and dry outside but still soft and chewy inside. Remove immediately.

Steps:

- 2. In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup cocoa and sugar together, set aside.
- 3. In a large bowl using your electric mixer, beat egg whites until frothy. While beating to the frothy stage, add salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla extract. After reaching the frothy stage, add the cocoa/sugar mixture (1 Tbsp at a time) while continuing beating until the egg whites are stiff and glossy.
- 4. Drop batter by Tbsp onto prepared cookie sheets about(1-inch apart).
- 5. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tsp cocoa and cinnamon. Using a sieve or a sifter, sprinkle mixture over the non-baked cookies.

CHOCOLATE CHEWY MERINGUE COOKIES
Steps:
- 1. Position 2 racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Heat oven to 350˚F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. Mix sugar, cocoa, and salt in a bowl. Stir in chocolate chips. Add egg whites and vanilla; beat with a fork or electric mixer on medium until batter is just moistened. (Do not overbeat batter or it will stiffen.) 3. Drop batter by teaspoonful onto baking sheets in evenly spaced mounds. Bake cookies until tops are lightly cracked and glossy, about 15 minutes. Cool briefly, then carefully remove from parchment paper with a spatula*. Cookies may be soft and fragile, so proceed carefully to lift cookies and place them on racks to cool. Do not wait too long to remove them from baking sheets, for they will stick, even to parchment paper. Repeat with remaining batter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Makes about 4 dozen cookies. Notes: ~ I found that slightly rounded teaspoons of batter work best. I tried making bigger ones and they did not bake as nicely. Also, make sure to leave plenty of room around each one as they will spread - a lot! ~ When I made these cookies I found, through trial and error, that if I lightly buttered the parchment paper, then left the cookies right on the paper till they were cool, there was no problem removing them. ~ I tried them with 2 cups of chocolate chips and a cup of roughly chopped dried cherries - fabulous! ~ I also tried them with 2 cups of chocolate chips and 1 cup of toffee bits, even better!! :) Taken from http://www.thecafesucrefarine.com/2012/06/oh-my-goodness-just-wait.html
CHOCOLATE CHIP MERINGUE COOKIES
Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 .
- 2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- 3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites until foamy.
- 4. Add the cream of tartar and beat until fluffy but not at all dry. (Be careful not to over beat.)
- 5. Add the sugar gradually, about 3 tablespoons at a time
- 6. When 1/2 of the sugar has been added, add the vanilla extract.
- 7. Continue beating and adding remaining sugar in batches, until all of the sugar is dissolved and the meringue is very shiny and tight.
- 8. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
- 9. Working one teaspoon at a time, push a teaspoon of meringue from the tip of 1 teaspoon with the back of another teaspoon onto the lined baking sheets, leaving 1-inch of space between cookies.
- 10. Place baking sheets in the preheated oven and turn the oven off.
- 11. Leave the cookies (undisturbed) in the oven for at least 2 hours and up to overnight, or until cookies are crisp and dry.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the flavor of the cookies. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature: This will help them whip up more easily and create a more stable meringue.
- Don't over-beat the egg whites: Over-beaten egg whites will be dry and brittle, and they won't hold their shape well. Beat them until they are stiff peaks but not dry.
- Fold the chocolate and nuts into the meringue gently: Over-mixing will deflate the meringue and make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies at a low temperature: This will help them to rise slowly and develop a chewy texture.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will help them to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Chocolate meringue cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your cookies turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate meringue cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
