Keiki Chocolate Drop Meringue Cookies Recipe

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 t vanilla
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

Beat egg white until they stand in peaks, adding sugar gradually. Fold in chocolate chips and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonful onto aluminum foil lined cookie sheet. Bake one hour at 225 degrees. Cool before removing from foil.

As mentioned in my first recipe blog, Hawaii is a wonderful mix of cultures and each of these peoples brought with them their customs and foods. The early plantation days saw these combining cultures creating foods that are unique only to Hawaii. We thank these early pioneers who planted and nurtured these plantation fields and created many of these amazing recipes.

Because we have this rich Hawaiian heritage, I started this running blog that features recipes with a Hawaiian flair. If you love collecting recipes, please check back so that you can collect your favorites.

Not sure what it is about Kauai and meringue cookies?!? LOL Every year I visit friends on Kauai and we stay up at Camp Sloggett in Kokee for the Banana Poka festival. One of the Kauai ladies always brings the most ono meringue cookies. I can’t get enough of them!

Thanks for the recipe!
