Here's a good one, EASY!! & Yummy!

Merenge cookies

2 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Beat untill you can form stiff peaks and then add:
3/4 cup of sugar a little at a time while beating.
Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips
Put a brown paper sack on your cookie sheet ( opened up and layed flat) and bake at 350 for 20 min.

My grandson asked me how I got the marshmallow in it! I love that it has all the protein of an egg and none of the fat. Depending on how big you make your cookie drops I got 20 or 24 cookies out of one batch. Just filled my "bun pan" perfect.

Nestles melts, but the cheap ones look like something Bossy left in the pasture -- kind of adds to the illusion. Push the scoops together a little so it looks like you got a corner of a Holstein spot.
