Vintage Recipe for Forgotten Cookies
These cookies are unique in that they require minimal effort and an oven that stays on for just a couple of hours—perfect for when you need a delicious dessert without spending all day baking!
Ingredients:
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups chocolate chips (or your favorite mix-ins)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Once they start to hold their shape, add vanilla extract and cream of tartar.
- Gradually, add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks. The mixture should be glossy and hold well.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the meringue.
- Drop spoonfuls of the meringue mixture onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Turn off the oven, place the baking sheet inside, and let the cookies sit in the warm oven for 2-3 hours, or overnight. This allows them to dry out and achieve that classic forgotten cookie texture.
- Once ready, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely before enjoying.
