Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

Beat egg white until foamy. Add cream of tartar and beat until fluffy, but not at all dry.

Add sugar gradually, about 3 T. at a time.

When half of the sugar has been added, beat in vanilla.

Continue beating in the remaining sugar a few T. at a time.

Gently fold in chocolate chips.

Drop by teaspoons one inch apart on cookie sheets.

Place in preheated oven, close door, and let re-heat to 350º. Turn oven OFF and leave cookies undisturbed for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The easiest Christmas cookie recipe--but it's actually more like candy.

The PEPPERMINT variation substitutes crushed peppermint sticks for the chocolate chips.

Sarah makes these for her fellow teachers every year, who call them "Air Cookies." Here is her version:
5 egg whites
1 2/3 c. sugar
drip vanilla (?)
2 c. chocolate chips
Bake at 175º for 2 hours in a pinch.
