Light, airy and chewy with chocolate chips in every bite – made with egg whites, sugar and chocolate, these gluten free meringues just melt in your mouth.

These cookies are a must for Santa, we’ve been making them for years and everyone loves them. They are so easy to make, made with only 6 ingredients! A few of my other favorite varieties of meringue cookies I like to make for the holidays are Sprinkle Dipped Meringues, Black and White Chocolate Chip Clouds, Coconut Meringues and Peppermint Meringues.

My daughter Karina makes these cookies more than any other cookies! She’s sensitive to gluten, but also a chocolate lover and they are so easy to whip up. The perfect chocolate treat, what I love about them most is eating them the next day, they get chewier which is just how I like them.

Helpful Tips

Works best with room temperature egg whites.
Make sure none of the yolk gets mixed in with the whites or they won’t work.
Use clean beaters and a clean metal or glass mixing bowl.
Store room temperature up to 4 days.
