Note: This recipe appears on www.weightwatchers.com. I 've always loved meringue desserts and this dessert looked delicious. This was also my first time making a meringue dessert so it did not go as I wanted it to. Probably because I didn't beat the egg whites and sugar long enough. My cookies tasted more like chocolate chip meringue bars than cookies but they were still delicious.They were a nice combination of vanilla and chocolate and left a delicious aftertaste in your mouth.  I would make this dessert again but I would beat the sugar ans egg white mixture a little longer.
