Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until fluffy but not at all dry. (Be careful not to over beat.) Add the sugar gradually, about 3 tablespoons at a time. When 1/2 of the sugar has been added, add the vanilla extract. Continue beating and adding remaining sugar in batches, until all of the sugar is dissolved and the meringue is very shiny and tight. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Working one teaspoon at a time, push a teaspoonful of meringue from the tip of 1 teaspoon with the back of another teaspoon onto the lined baking sheets, leaving 1-inch of space between cookies. Place baking sheets in the preheated oven and turn the oven off. Leave the cookies (undisturbed) in the oven for at least 2 hours and up to overnight, or until cookies are crisp and dry.

Tips:
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start whipping them. This will help them whip up more easily and give you a more stable meringue.
- Add the sugar gradually to the egg whites while whipping. This will help prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
- Whip the meringue until it is stiff and glossy. This will help it hold its shape when you bake it.
- Use a piping bag to pipe the meringue into desired shapes. This will help you create uniform and professional-looking meringues.
- Bake the meringues at a low temperature for a long time. This will help them dry out and become crispy without browning.
- Once the meringues are baked, let them cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from making the meringues soggy.
