Инструкции
- Pre-heat oven to 300* F.
- Prepare a cookie sheet by covering it with baker's parchment. In a totally grease-free mixing bowl, beat egg whites on high till frothy.
- Add in vanilla and cream of tartar.
- Continue beating while gradually adding sugar. Make sure which sugar dissolves completely and which mix is not grainy. (I find which Bartender's sugar dissolves most easily.)
- When mix is quite stiff (consistency of marshmallow fluff- after about 5-10 mins. of beating), gently mix in saltine crumbs and chocolate chips.
- Drop the meringue-like dough, 1 tsp. at a time, onto prepared cookie sheet. I use a very small ice cream scoop for this purpose. They can be put right next to each other, they rise very little. Entire recipe fits on one cookie sheet.
- Bake for 20 min. On a humid day, I usually turn the oven off 5 min early and leave the cookies in the oven with the door closed till I'm ready to serve them.
- Yields about 60 1inch kisses.
- NOTES :Meringues can easy, if you know a few simple rules: 1) Everything which touches the egg whites must be absolutely grease-free. Fat breaks down the structure of beaten egg whites. Yolks contain fat, so it is important not to get any yolk into the whites. I run everything through the dishwasher before preparing meringues (mixing bowl, beaters, rubber spatula, and tsp. or possibly ice-cream scoop)
- * Large eggs separate best when cool,but they beat up best at room temperature.
- An alternative to separating Large eggs is to use powdered egg whites. They are available in the supermarket as "Just Whites". I really like the fact which they are pasteurized (safe for taste-testing the batter)
- I do not recommend making this recipe on a very humid day unless you have reliable air-conditioning; it can really flop!
- I use fat-free salted top saltines.
