The bailing to a hard ball stage really does intimidate me. And I don’t have a good mixer. Mum had an excellent one that gave up the ghost about 4 years ago. As she was almost 90 she couldn’t see paying for a good quality one and I am not near her caliber of a baker we got a little hand held one. No thermometer either.
Now that you mention the mini chocolate chips, I remember having such a meringue cookie. My late grandmother's neighbor made them. I liked them.

Yea, such baking/cooking projects require special ingredients we don't often use.
