Forgotten Cookies

Forgotten Cookies

They are named forgotten cookies because you put them in a hot oven, turn off the oven, and then forget the cookies for 8 hours.

Before you start: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cover two cookie sheets with aluminum foil, shiny side up.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 eggs whites
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 6oz of mini semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup of chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

DIRECTIONS

  • Place the egg whites in a bowl and beat them until they are stiff.
  • Slowly add the sugar and the vanilla.
  • With a spoon, fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and the nuts.
  • Drop about a tablespoon full of cookie dough onto the cookie sheets for each cookie.
  • Place the cookie sheets in the oven and shut the puppy off.
  • The cookies will be ready about 8 hours later!

If you just cannot wait the 8 hours, bake the cookies in the oven for 5 minutes, turn the oven off, and wait 1 hour.
