CHOCOLATE CHIP MERINGUES

Last night I made meringue cookies with chocolate chips in them. They are divine.



I’ve been making so many, and they are eaten so fast, that now I automatically double the batch each time.  Be careful before you think of doing this though, as they ALL have to fit in the oven at the same time!

So I added 1 C. of chocolate chips per batch.

I also made peach meringues the other day too.  They were … OK.  I doubled the recipe—minus half cup of the sugar, and replaced it with a package of peach jello.  They tasted nice and peach-ish, but the rather artificial flavor of the gelatin was also there.

I think I’m done with meringues for a while!

  4. @i_was_there_and_back_again - I'm ashamed to say that I just pitch the egg yolks. I could save them in the hopes of using them for something else, but I know they would wait and wait until I threw them out anyway. Fauquet, from France, says his wife makes "Floating Island" with the egg yolks and cream. THAT sounds quite interesting.

  6. They sound so good. I have a 1852 cookbooks that has a recipe for egg whites, crushed almonds, and chocolate all choped up. It sound so good now that I have seen your cookies. I think I might try to make them and to a post about it . God bless

  7. Again sinful cookies !! always yummy ! It ' s incredible all of what we can do with meringue.Yes my wife uses the egg yolk to make the English cream ( crême anglaise ) . The grandchildren love very much that . And as Trish says above it is possible to make a special  " bread " with them ( we call this a " brioche " ). Thanks for your encouragements
