Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 egg whites at room temperature use large eggs
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ⅛ tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • ½ tsp peppermint extract more or less according to taste
  • 1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 2-3 drops of green food coloring optional

Instructions
 

  • Beat the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar in a glass or metal bowl at high speed till soft peaks form. I recommend using a Kitchenaid mixer.
  • Gradually beat in the sugar. Beat till stiff peaks form.
  • Fold in chocolate chips, peppermint extract, and food coloring if desired.
  • Drop by tablespoonfuls onto parchment lined cookie sheets. (Don't use cooking spray.)
  • Bake at 275° for about 30 minutes.

Notes

-You can substitute vanilla extract for the peppermint extract. Omit the food coloring.
