Beat egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla in a clean bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
Step 3
Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls, one inch apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake in the preheated oven until just lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Cool on baking sheets.
