Directions

1 Heat oven to 200°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. In small bowl, combine egg whites and cream of tartar; beat at medium speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating at high speed until meringue is very stiff and glossy, and sugar is dissolved.
2 Use disposable decorating bag or gallon-sized resealable food storage plastic bag with 1/2-inch hole cut in bottom corner. Spoon meringue into bag; twist top to partially close bag.
3 Squeeze bag to pipe meringue into 4-inch ghosts on parchment paper-lined cookie sheets. Place 3 chocolate chips in each ghost for eyes and mouth. Place cookie sheets on center rack in oven.
4 Bake at 200°F. for 2 hours. Cool 10 minutes or until completely cooled. Remove cookies from parchment paper.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Cold eggs separate easily, while room temperature egg whites beat to their highest volume. Let the eggs whites stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes before beating them.

Meringue become tough if it absorbs moisture; store these "ghosts" in a loosely covered container at room temperature. If the humidity is high, transfer them to a tightly covered container.

I love this recipe! I've made these meringues for Christmas (a little green food coloring and in the shape of trees), for Valentine's Day (a little red food coloring) in the shape of hearts, and just fun swirls! So easy to make, a sweet little light pick me up that melts in your mouth : )

Very simple and would definitely make again. However, the recipe doesn't tell you when to use the vanilla.
