Ingredients
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/3 cup superfine (caster) sugar*
- 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Place egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean, dry bowl of a stand mixer and beat until foamy. Add sugar and almond extract beat until meringues hold soft peaks, about 3 minutes. Fold in chocolate gently until just incorporated. Using a pastry bag or a sealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off, pipe meringue by the tablespoon onto cookie sheets. Bake for 40 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool completely before removing from parchment paper. Transfer to an airtight container.
*You can make your own superfine sugar by placing sugar in a food processor and processing on high for 30 to 45 seconds.

I love the flavor of these with the almond extract. They were pretty easy to make, although I did make a few changes. I used splenda instead of sugar to make it diabetic-friendly, and I cut down the amount to a quarter cup. I also used mini chocolate chips instead of the chocolate. These are a very satisfying sweet treat that's easy on the waistline.

Fantastic! Light, crisp, full of flavor and such a sweet treat without all of the guilt. I did substitute vanilla extract for the almond and reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup. They tasted amazing and looked beautiful! New family favorite!!!
