Forgotten Cookies

These cookies are beautiful, glossy batter when put on the cookie sheets and emerge in the morning with a matte meringue finish. They expand a bit overnight. If you wanted the recipe to yield more, use a small dining spoon. The cookies will actually set within a few hours and will be crisp to the touch with a matte finish. It's still fun to pop them into the oven and find them finished in the morning (especially for little chefs)!

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Beat egg whites until foamy, approximately 3 minutes.
  • Slowly add sugar while beating egg whites until stiff.
  • Stir in salt, vanilla, pecans and chocolate chips. Drop onto ungreased cookie sheet by the spoonful (I used a small dining spoon so the cookies were about 1 tablespoon of the batter each)
