These are my favorite cookies to bake-and the kids love them!  With a double helping of chocolate, they are crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Chocolate Chip Meringue cookies are easy to make; so easy in fact that your kids can help! These are great to serve to guests and make wonderful gifts.I recently included these cookies in our Christmas gift baskets. Make up a batch today…but be careful they are addicting!
