Description
Discover the sweet secret recipe for Forgotten Cookies, a delightful treat that requires minimal effort and yields delicious results.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the vanilla extract, almond extract, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and salt until well combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven, then immediately turn off the oven. Leave the cookies in the oven for at least 6 hours or overnight to dry out.
- Once the cookies are dry, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts and increase the chocolate chips to 2 1/2 cups.
- You can experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as white chocolate or dark chocolate, for a unique flavor twist.
