How to Make Meringue Cookies Or Cloud Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar and a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat until combined.
  4. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Gently fold in 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional).
  6. Drop rounded teaspoons of meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cookies are crisp and dry to the touch. Do not overbake!
  8. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
