Meringue Chocolate Kisses

1 egg white
small pinch salt
⅛ tsp cream of tartar
½ tsp vanilla
¼ cup + 2 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. mini chocolate chips (additional for topping kisses)

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. To prevent burning, line the baking sheet with parchment paper.

Beat egg white, salt, and cream of tartar until very firm (stiff peaks). *Stiff or firm peaks stand straight up when the beaters are lifted.

Gradually add sugar and vanilla and mix.

Fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Drop by small scoop teaspoonfuls on a pan or pipe onto a pan like “kisses”.  Add one mini chocolate chip to the top of each kiss.

Bake for 15 minutes. They should only be lightly browned and not wet in the middle.
