Author Notes: Deliciously simple, these cookies stay soft in the center under a crisp shell. They're gluten free, with only three ingredients! - Riki Shore
Makes 3 dozen
- 1 cup egg whites
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the egg whites and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar melts.
- Place the warm egg white and sugar mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on high until the whites are stiff and glossy, about 5 – 10 minutes.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix on medium until incorporated.
- Scoop large spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets. These cookies won’t spread, but you want to keep an inch between them on the sheet. They will look like fluffy clouds, and will retain this shape during baking.
- Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through, until they are hard on the outside and soft in the center. The best way to test is to break one in half and make sure it’s cooked through, but still soft.
- Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them carefully with your hands. Store in an airtight container up to 4 days.

If you prefer, instead of chocolate chips, place 1 tsp. of the whipped mix, top with 1/2 pecan, add another tsp. of the mix on top. Bake the same way

Hi, can I reduce the sugar to 1 cup or lesser instead? I am going for a low sugar diet! Thanks!

Hi Noelle, yes, you can reduce the sugar, but without other ingredients, the meringues will lose flavor quickly. If you're not opposed to it, you could add some pistachios and dried cherries to pump up the flavor. Good luck!

These are delicious and so easy! Made them last week for the first time and was so inspired that I'm trying a variation... For the luau-themed dinner party tonight, I subbed shredded coconut for the chocolate - we'll see! Thanks for such a tasty and simple (and impressive!) recipe!

Do the chocolate chips melt into the meringue before or during baking?
