2 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar
1 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of hot cocoa mix (without marshmallows)
1 cup of chocolate chips
chocolate sprinkles

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and spray a cookies sheet with nonstick spray.
• Using a stand or handheld mixer, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar on the highest speed until a soft peak forms. 
• Slowly add in the sugar and continue to whip until a stiff peak forms. 
• If you aren't sure if it's stiff, whip it a little more. 
• It shouldn't drip or move when you lift the beater up.
• Use a spatula to fold in the hot cocoa mix then the chocolate chip.
• Spoon the whites onto the cookie sheet 
• Add a few sprinkles on top
• Bake for 20-23 minutes
