Bailey’s Clouds

1) Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Cover 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

2) Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. You can use a mixer – but my baby was asleep and I needed a workout, so I whisked it!

3) Add sugar a little at a time, continuously whisking. Add vanilla.

4) Keep beating until you get stiff peaks and it’s glossy. At some point in this stage my forearms rebelled and refused to let me whisk, so I switch to the mixer for just a moment.

5) If desired, add green food coloring until you reach desired shade.

6) Fold in chocolate chips and Bailey’s.

7) Drop batter by tablespoons onto cookie sheets. Bake 35-45 minutes or just until dry. Let cool slightly before transferring to a cooling rack.

8 ) Store clouds remaining from your initial gorging while standing over the oven, in an airtight container at room temperature.
