Recipe - Chocolate Meringue Drops

2 lg Egg whites
One half cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
3 tablespoon Cocoa powder (not a mix)
One half cup Semisweet chocolate chips
(One half a 6 ounce pack)

Okay, here's a holiday treat that's acceptable in moderation (another to
follow when I have time) This is from The Reader's Digest Great Recipes for
Good Health Cookbook, which I am enjoying immensely. It's untested:

Preheat oven to 250. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

Beat egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Beat in the sugar 1 T. at a
time,then beat in the vanilla extract. Reduce speed to low and beat in the
cocoa powder. With a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded teaspoons onto baking sheets, spacing 1" apart, and bake 1
hr. Turn off oven and dry cookies in oven 2 hrs longer. Remove and store in
airtight container. Makes 40 cookies.
