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)!
