# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Main Components

01 - 3 egg whites
02 - 0.5 g cream of tartar

06 - 300 g chocolate chips

→ Finishing Touch

07 - Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 150°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a stand mixer, beat egg whites with cream of tartar on high speed for approximately 2 minutes until soft peaks form.
03 - Continue mixing on high while gradually adding vanilla extract and granulated sugar. Beat for an additional 3 minutes until the meringue forms stiff, glossy peaks.
04 - Gently fold in cocoa powder and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula until fully combined.
05 - Spoon tablespoons of the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each evenly by at least 2.5 cm. Optionally, dust the tops with additional cocoa powder.
06 - Transfer to the oven and bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the tops are dry to the touch.
07 - Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before carefully removing and serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for optimal volume.
02 - Keep at least an inch of space between meringues to allow for proper air circulation.
03 - For best texture, store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within one week.
