Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whip the egg whites on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the granulated sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form, taking about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in vanilla extract and salt without deflating the meringue.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips carefully.
  6. Scoop dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden and tops are crisp.
