Forgotten Cookies
They are easy and melt in your mouth and you can change the ingredients to what you have on hand. They are actually meringues
2 egg whites(room temp is best)
2/3 cup of sugar
1 cup chocolate bits
1 cup nuts, broken
1 t. vanilla extract
Beat egg whites until frothy. Add sugar spoonful by spoonful and beat until stiff.
Add chocolate bits and nuts.
Have oven heated to 350 degrees. Put cookies on foil lined cookie sheets, NOT GREASED.
Put cookies in oven and turn the oven off. Leave overnight or at least 5 hours during the day.
Variations:
I use mini chocolate bits and less pecans. I also make them small(teaspoon size), because they are like candy.
use coconut instead of nuts
or rice crispies instead of nuts
I want to try them with a bit of cocoa and crushed candycanes.
how about butterscotch
or peanutbutter bits
Enjoy!
