Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form (3-4 minutes).
  4. Gently fold in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  6. Scoop the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until tops are golden and crisp.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For best flavor, let cookies rest for at least 4 hours to enhance their chewiness.
