  3. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Increase speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form (3-4 minutes).
  4. Fold in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt gently to maintain airiness.
  5. Carefully fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop mounds of meringue onto the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Allow the cookies to rest for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
