desserts

Ingredients

	1 spray(s) cooking spray, flour-variety recommended
	1 tsp all-purpose flour
	4 large egg white(s)
	1 cup(s) sugar
	1/2 cup(s) mini chocolate chips, semi-sweet
	1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 200ºF.
  
  
• Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray and coat with a light dusting of flour; shake off excess flour and set aside.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• Drop mixture by heaping tablespoons onto prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart, making 24 cookies.
  
  
• 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 wire racks to cool completely. Yields 2 cookies per serving.

Notes

• You can make these cookies mini if you prefer. Just use heaping teaspoons of batter; not tablespoons.
