Raspberry Merengue Kisses

(A good treat for Valentine's Day!)  This is from one of my favorite cookbooks (not just for recipes, but for reading material) "Hearth and Home" by Karey Swan. I think it is no longer in print.
Ingredients:
*3 egg whites
*1/8 tsp. salt
*1 tsp. vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar)
*3 1/2 Tbsp. raspberry jello powder
*3/4 cup sugar
*1 cup chocolate mini-chips

Directions:
Beat egg whites with salt till foamy. Add jello and sugar gradually. Beat until very stiff. Mix in vinegar; fold in chocolate bits. Drop by teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheets covered with brown paper or parchment paper. You can crowd these together to to fit on two baking sheets so they can bake at the same time. Bake at 250* for 25 minutes. Turn oven OFF; leave cookies in oven 20 minutes longer. 
Serve cooled.




Yields: a lot! :-)
