A Lite Treat!

Lori graciously gave me a wonderful recipe for these little treats last year. They are great in a pinch and are not as sinful as they taste. A few at Ditch N' Stitch took an interest so here are the instructions for them:

Chocolate Chip Meringues

2 egg whites
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

300 degrees
lightly grease cookie sheet or line with parchment paper
Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla on high until peaks form. Beat in Sugar, one tbsp at a time, until stiff peaks form. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop 2" apart. Bake 20 minutes or until firm and bottoms are lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.
Makes 36
