Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies on a white plate and cooling rack

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!
