These light, crisp, cloud-like meringue cookies are the perfect way to use a pileup of egg whites, along with small amounts of nuts and chocolate chips. If you prefer to use chocolate in bar form, you’ll need about 2 ounces, chopped. The meringues can be made into a dozen 3-inch cookies or six oversized 6-inch puffs. Serve them alone or split them open and fill them with whipped cream and scattered with fresh berries. The cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.

Great gluten free treat (great Treat even if you’re not watching gluten!)
I made this is a small cookie for a holiday function; yielded about 40 cookies. I reduced the cooking time to 50 minutes and kept them in the oven afterwards for about 15 minutes longer than indicated in the recipe. It’s a nice light and flavorful treat that you don’t have to feel really guilty about! Hoping it’s a big hit at the holiday function.
