Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form, but not dry; mix together water and vanilla, then mix in alternately with sugar. Fold in cocoa, then chips, gently.<br /><br />Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookies sheets, and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. Remove promptly from baking sheet, onto waxed paper, and let cool. Store in DRY, tightly lidded container.<br /><br />Once served, stand back.
