Forgotten Cookies
These crunchy meringue cookies, filled with nuts and chocolate morsels, melt into your mouth when you bite into them.
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites at room temperature
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ⅔ cup superfine sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans optional
- Crushed candy canes for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Line 2 baking sheets with foil or parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a handheld electric or stand mixer, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and mix until fluffy.
- Mix in the sugar, in four batches, adding the vanilla extract midway through. Continue beating until the egg whites form glossy, stiff peaks.
- Gently fold in the baking chips and nuts.
- Using two teaspoons, drop the meringue cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Garnish with crushed candy canes, if preferred.
- Place the meringue cookies into the preheated oven and immediately turn off the heat.
- Leave the cookies in the oven overnight, undisturbed, to harden and crisp up.
Notes
You can use any combination of baking chip you like, or you can just use one flavor.
If you can’t find superfine sugar, pulse granulated sugar in a food processor for 2 minutes until fine. Be sure to measure after pulsing.
