Chocolate Chip Meringues (Using Powdered Egg Whites) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 teaspoons powdered egg whites or 4 teaspoons meringue powder
4 tablespoons water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon orange extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

Preparation

Preheat oven to 275 F.
Beat powdered egg whites with sugar, water and flavoring on high speed of an electric mixer for 4-5 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
Gently hand stir in chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
Drop Tbsps of batter onto parchment-lined cookie sheets and bake for 55-60 minutes or until lightly browned and dry.
Do not overbake.
These only keep a few days in a wax paper lined cookie tin, so don't make too far in advance.
