Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Place two egg whites in a small bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in remaining egg white; gradually add flour to creamed mixture, mixing well.

Press into a greased 8-in.-square baking pan. Bake 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned. Increase oven setting to 400°.

With clean beaters, beat reserved egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Spread jam over crust; sprinkle with chocolate chips. Spread meringue over top.

Bake 8-10 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
