Mint Chocolate Chip Meringues

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and cream of tartar at a medium-low speed until stiff peaks form.

3. Still beating at the same speed, slowly add the sugar, mixing in just 1 tablespoon at a time.

4. When all the sugar has been added, beat in the mint extract and green food coloring.

5. Fold in the chocolate chips.

6. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of the meringue onto the baking sheets, about and inch or two apart.

7. Turn the oven off, and place the cookie sheets in the oven. Leave the cookies in the oven overnight.

8. The next morning, take the cookie sheets out of the oven. Store cookies in a dry place.
