Meringue cookie pops!

I have been on a Meringue kick. I had never had them before, and was delighted to find out how low calorie they were, and yet so yummy!

**Note** I live where its almost always dry, but from what I've read these can be a sticky mess in humidity. Just want to throw the warning out there.

Ingredients - Makes 60 Meringue cookies
3 large egg whites
3/4 cup sugar (the finer the better, but not powdered)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
280 grams white chocolate chips
-And piping back and large star tip

Pre-heat Oven to 175 Cover 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper

1) With whisk attachment, use electric mixer to beat eggs until foamy.
2) While mixing on medium speed, SLOWLY add sugar. The egg white should thicken, and then make a stiff peak.

3)Fold in vanilla extract with spatula (about 6 times, don't over mix or it will go flat)
4) Fill up piping bag, and pipe onto cookie sheet, should be between a quarter size and 50 cent piece.

5) Add either a toothpick, Popsicle stick (or we used cut wood skewers)


Bake for 2 hours or until they are firm and not sticky. When finished let cool completely.

Now this is the tricky part. You can either melt the chocolate chips and then dip them. I melted the chocolate chips, cut a small piece off the corner of a sandwich bag (so it looks like a piping bag with a tiny hole), and used that to cover each one. You may or may not use all the chocolate, someone more talented could probably use much less. :)
