Great, easy recipe! I let my stand mixer do all the work and in the morning had a delicious treat waiting for me!

Wicked easy! I can't wait until the morning when they'll be ready! :) It's a great way to use up my extra egg whites from another recipe!

Just like mom and I used to make as a kid. One suggestion, we always used mini chocolate chips - they seem to almost float in these cookies.

These were great! The only change I made was beating in the vanilla, not folding in with the chocolate chips. I left them in the oven overnight, and they came out perfect in the morning. A little like marshmallow in the middle. So good!

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A BEATER--DO NOT GO PAST THIS RECIPE! I made these cookies ENTIRELY by hand with a whisk. It's a bit of work but they're worth it! The trick is to ensure the whites are room temperature, the bowl is clean (and preferably metal, copper is best), and a drop of vinegar or cream of tartar will help the whites' reaction immensely. Good luck! I made these with finely crushed candy cane as per Homermc's direction. Probably only added about a quarter cup.

Yummy! Randomly made these last night....excellent taste, so easy. I left mine with the oven on about 4 minutes before turning it off, and they came out just a touch crispy and nice and soft in the middle. The chocolate chips were a nice little surprise, tucked away in the middle. Will make again!

My mother and her mother made these cookies at Christmas and these additions make them 5 STARS!!! Add 1 cup rice krispies cereal, 1 cup shredded coconut, and 1 cup chocolate chips to meringue mixture and then follow baking instructions. Superb!

Great! Just like grandma used to make them!!! I added the 1/4 tsp of cream of tartar, a little more than 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, and 1 cup chopped peppermints. Yummy! Thanks!

I usually like to use a Hershey's kiss in the center of each one instead of chocolate chips.

I have used this recipe for years. Only use when it is not humid. Make sure bowl and beaters are grease free or egg whites do not beat up stiff. Make sure egg whites are at room temperature. I add 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar which helps make them crisp. I let them cook about 5 minutes before turning off oven

I screwed this one up good. Mine came out really, really soupy, as I wasn't sure what I was looking for when mixing till "stiff". I will try this one again but beat with a mixer until it thickens like it is supposed to (as I read on another Web site, the egg mixture should not slip and slide when tilting the bowl. Also, I will wait 20 mins to use eggs after taking eggs out of the fridge). What I had did taste good though, which is why I will try it again.

I love these! If they come out and are still a little sticky, you can put them in the pre-heated oven again until they are as crisp as you'd like.

Check the humidity! My kids and I have made these several times. Half the time, they are crispy and fabulous. Half the time, they are gummy and weird. I bet the other reviewers are right -- it doesn't work well on high humidity days.

Almost effortless cookie-making. Try adding crushed candy canes for a festive holiday cookie.

I've been looking for a recipe for forgotten cookies that works forever... biting into these babies is pure beauty. Of course, play around with the oven time/temp some as they are all different. I prefer mine totally cripsy, no gooey stuff inside... also think there might be something to the humidity of the day when you make them. Enjoy!

This recipe tastes very good, but I have made them two times and they came out sticky. I don't know what the problem is, maybe the high humidity of Alabama. They are very good and diet friendly, if I could just get them to not be sticky
