  2. Whip the egg whites in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar while whisking on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks are achieved.
  4. Carefully fold in vanilla extract and salt to the egg white mixture.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips without deflating the egg whites.
