Grandma's chocolate meringue cookies are the bomb. And since they have no flour (check it out!) they are also potentially gluten free, for those of you who want that sorta thing.
BEACON HILL COOKIES
1 cup chocolate chips
2 egg whites
dash salt
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon vinegar
¾ cup walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet. In a double boiler (or carefully in the microwave), melt chocolate chips, allowing them to cool a little. Beat egg whites with salt until foamy, then gradually add sugar, beating well until whites form stiff peaks. Beat in vanilla and vinegar. Fold in cooled melted chocolate and nuts. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet and bake 10 minutes. Remove cookies immediately to cool.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies. Recipe can be doubled.
