Ingredients

2 large egg whites, room temperature
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract
6 to 8 drops green food coloring, optional
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

In a small bowl, beat the egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, extract and food coloring if desired on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved, about 6 minutes. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 250° until firm to the touch, 40-45 minutes. Turn oven off; leave meringues in oven for 1-1/2 hours. Remove to wire racks. Store in an airtight container.
