    delicious, crisp, and airy chocolate chip meringue cookies on a white plate

    This super light, airy but crisp Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies is one of my favorite kinds of cookies to make during Christmas! In every bite, you can hear the crispiness but in between, there is a moist and marshmallow-like softness. Yum!

    Tips and Procedures: 

    • Before mixing the dry ingredients like all-purpose flour, baking soda, and granulated sugar, sift them individually. This easy but very important step would make your cookies nice and evenly textured. It wouldn’t be fun biting into a lump of flour in between 🙂
    • After baking your Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies, store them in an airtight container so you can enjoy them for several days – that is if you did not eat the whole batch in one sitting.
    • If you don’t have chocolate chips and have a chocolate bar instead, simply chop it in small bits and you have equally delicious chocolate to go in that croissant dinner roll!

    How to Make this Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies Recipe:

    Gather the ingredients for this Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies and once the ingredients are all ready, let’s begin!

    • cream of tartar
    • salt
    • egg whites
    • granulated sugar
    • unsweetened cocoa powder
    • mini chocolate chips

    Preheat oven to 300F and prepare baking sheet using parchment paper or a baking mat.

    In a mixing stand, add the cream of tartar, salt, and egg whites and beat it at high speed until soft peaks form. Then gradually add the granulated sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, while the mixer is on high speed. Now once stiff peaks form, turn off the mixer and then sift the unsweetened cocoa powder in the bowl:

    After mixing well, you will get a light brown colored smooth mixture, like so:
