Recipe By : Boston Globe Serving Size : 72 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Passover Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 cup chocolate chips 1 teaspoon salt 4 Whites of 4 large eggs 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set the racks in the oven so as to divide it into thirds. Partially grind chocolate chips in a food processor until they consist of smaller chips and ground chocolate. In a large bowl, sprinkle salt over egg whites and, using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Change to high speed and continue beating until soft peaks form. Continue beating and gradually add the sugar. Once all the sugar has been incorporated, add the vanilla and continue beating. Eggs should be smooth, stiff, and satiny white. Stir in semi-chopped chocolate chips. You can drop the batter on the prepared baking sheets using a teaspoon, but the easiest way to form meringues is using a pastry bag and piping them. Squeeze the batter out into kiss-shaped rounds 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches across. Allow 1/2 to 1 inch between cookies. Bake 2 sheets at a time at 300 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, until cookies are firm. They will continue to firm up as they cool. Let cool on the baking sheets for at least 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container. Makes about 6 dozen. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per serving: 22 Calories; 1g Fat (26% calories from fat); 0g Protein; 4g Carbohydrate; 0mg Cholesterol; 30mg Sodium NOTES : BOston Globe 3/31/99
