2 egg whites
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
6 oz. chocolate bits

Set oven at 375 degrees. Sprinkle salt into egg whites; whip until they peak. Beat in sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue to beat until very stiff. Fold in chocolate chips.

Drop by teaspoon on greased cookie sheet. Place in preheated oven AND IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF HEAT. Do not open oven door or look at cookies until the next day.

ALTERNATE BAKING METHOD: Bake in slow oven 250 degrees for 30-35 minutes; cool.

Egg whites may be tinted with a few drops of food coloring for pretty pastel cookies. Good low fat sweets.
