Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies are so simple to make and are so delicious. Crunchy chocolate meringue on the outside and soft and chocolatey on the inside.
These meringues are the perfect recipe for bite-sized desserts. They are great to serve at parties, along with our Pastry Triangles or the Poppy Seed Bars.

The tarter acts as a stabilizer and adds volume to the meringue cookies. Fluffy and airy cookies that have so much flavor in every bite.

how do I store meringue cookies?
These cookies are the best if stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week (though they probably can last long – they just never do at our home, ha!..).
