Place the egg whites, vanilla and vinegar in the bowl. Using the mixer or wire whisk, whip the mixture until it's white and foamy. Beat in the sugar a little at a time until you've added it all. Keep whipping the mixture until it's stiff and glossy. Lightly stir in chocolate chips. Drop the batter by spoonfuls onto the cookie sheets and bake for about one hour, until light brown. Let them cool before removing from sheets. Makes 24 cookies. |
