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.
CHEWY CHOCOLATE MERINGUE COOKIES
Being a chocoholic, I crammed as much chocolate as I could into these cookies. I submitted them to a contest, but obviously the judges were not chocoholics like me because the cookies did not win. Nevertheless, I think they are winners :>)

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.
Tips:
- Ensure that your egg whites are at room temperature before you start whisking them. This will help them reach their full volume and create stiff peaks.
- Use a clean whisk and bowl to whip the egg whites. Any grease or residue can prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
- Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as the whites begin to foam. This will help to incorporate air into the whites and create a smooth, meringue.
- Once the egg whites have reached stiff peaks, stop whisking immediately. Over-mixing can cause the meringue to become grainy and lose its volume.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the meringue gently. Over-mixing can cause the batter to deflate and result in tough cookies.
- Bake the cookies at a low temperature for a longer period of time. This will help to prevent the cookies from browning too quickly and ensure that they are cooked through.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Fudgy meringue cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your cookies turn out perfect every time.
With their chewy centers and crispy exteriors, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these fudgy meringue cookies a try.
