Forgotten Cookies

Deb Hamrick/ July 2012

2 egg whites at room temperature

pinch of salt

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 tsp vanilla

6 oz mini chocolate chips

1 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans)

Pre-heat oven to 350.

Beat the eggs until foamy then add salt, cream of tartar and vanilla.

Beat mixture until stiff by adding 2 tablespoons of the sugar at a time - beating after each addition.

Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.

Drop by teaspoon on a foil lined baking sheet.  Put into the preheated oven and immediately turn the oven OFF.  Leave the cookies for 8 hours without opening the oven door!  For the reason I always make them in the evening and take them out the next morning :)
