Halfway cookies

These cookies are a bit more fussy than your average chocolate chip cookie, but they use basically the same ingredients, and make something much more interesting. The meringue topping makes it all worth it.

A couple of suggestions: When they say push in the chocolate chips so that they don't move around, it's really worth doing it. It's not a disaster, but my chips definitely migrated around a lot during the meringue spreading for some uneven distribution. Also, as the recipe says, the meringue is really sticky. I found an offset spatula the ideal tool for spreading and smoothing it.
