CHOCOLATE MERINGUE COOKIES
There are the best chocolate meringues ... crispy on the outside and a bit gooey on the inside. It's like eating a rich fudgy brownie. You would never know they were not only fairly low in fat, but also in calories (at least for something that yummy and chocolatey). The recipe comes from the Creative Chef 2 Cookbook, put out by the Tourette's Association of America. It was one of the best cookbooks I ever had. Note: Although the cookies do expand somewhat, they shouldn't flatten and spread too much, as the thicker they are, the more fudgey the center will be. The extra room is also to allow for more air to circulate the meringue, making for a more even texture.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Grease the cookie sheets, and cover with parchment paper or wax paper.
- (I usually spray the paper with non-stick vegetable spray).
- Melt the chocolate chips over hot water in double boiler.
- If you prefer (and this is the way I prefer doing it), you can melt them in the microwave.
- Start by cooking for 20 seconds.
- Stir and return to the microwave for another 10 seconds.
- Stir again, and repeat the process until all the chips are melted.
- Beat the egg whites until foamy, and then begin gradually adding the sugar while continuing to beat.
- Beat until stiff.
- Then beat in the vanilla and vinegar.
- Gently fold in the chocolate and nuts, if desired.
- Drop the batter, a teaspoon at a time, onto the sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until firm to the touch.
- Remove immediately from sheets.
- Store in airtight container.
- NOTE: Try not to store these for too long.
- Although they will keep, they will dry out a bit and lose that gooeyness inside somewhat, which is what makes them so special.

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cookies mix together more evenly and will result in a more consistent bake.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the cookies tough and chewy. Beat them until they are stiff peaks, but not dry.
- Be careful not to overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake them until they are just set, but still slightly soft in the center.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them to firm up and will make them easier to handle.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.
