Ingredients

4 egg whites, warmed in the shell (submerge whole eggs in warm water)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Can I go on with the recipe without the cream of tartar? Or can I substitute it with something else? Please help! Thanks!

Can you tell me how I get the chocolate chips in the middle without them showing on the outside?

@BluFlu – there is a "print" button – it's on the left side. Maybe it wasn't there when you posted this (?)

Why can't Martha insert a "Print" function for these recipes? Don't they have anyone on staff that knows anything about computers? GAD!

I love this recipe! My Mom made these in the 70's as well. I am not able to eat any butter, milk, etc... so any cookie that has no dairy in it makes me so happy! I found a choc. chip that has no dairy in it either & tastes great. These are going into my 2011 Holiday cookie baking !

We did this back in the 70's too. We even added walnuts in.

My mom used to make these back in the 1950's; they were my favorites! Don't worry about getting the chips in the middle of the merigue. Just fold them into the mixture and drop onto parchment. Like any meringue bake them slowly at a low temp. You can sprinkle them with cocoa after baking, but adding something different to the mixture before baking might cause them to "weep" (form a puddle).

I just made these and they are so yummy! I live in Florida and have heard that the more humid climates can alter the results but these worked perfectly! I used mini chocolate chips instead and they look beautiful! I made a batch not even 24 hours ago and already need to make more because everyone ate them up! kattyface: the liquid may be from the extra moisture from the added lemon zest... not sure though.
