Chocolate Pecan Kisses

Chocolate Pecan Kisses

1 egg white
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup miniature semisweet
chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Place the egg white in a small bowl. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold in the chocolate chips and the pecans. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake at 250 F for 40-45 minutes or until firm to the touch. Turn the oven off and let the cookies dry in the oven for 1 1/2 hours. Carefully remove the cookies from the parchment paper. Store in an airtight container. Makes 1 1/2 dozen
