Weird Rounds (cookies)

Ingredients
3 egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup semi-sweet morsels
1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Beat egg whites in a large bowl until stiff.
3. Gradually add sugar, beating on high till meringue forms sturdy peaks.
4. Add vanilla and chips (mini-chips work well) and beat just till evenly distributed.
5. Drop batter onto foil-lined cookie sheets using a tablespoon.
6. Place in oven, TURN OVEN OFF, and let sit/bake overnight.

Tips
As a variation, you can substitue 1/4 to 1/2 tsp mint or orange extract for the vanilla. A few drops of food coloring can also be added--we do red and blue on the 4th of July, orange on Halloween, red and green at Christmas.
