Forgotten cookies, called so because you make the batter then put them in the oven and forget about them overnight. Make them with all sugar, half sugar or monk fruit depending on your dietary preference. Once made, you will never forget these cookies. Note, room temperature whites whip better than cold ones.
1cupchocolate chipsI used a stevia-based brand from Lily’s
1cupchopped walnuts
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 350º. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment paper.
Using an electric hand mixer, beat egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until whites are stiff. Fold in the stevia, chips and walnuts by hand. This will make a flatter cookie. See notes below for options.
Drop tablespoonfuls of the batter onto the parchment lined baking sheet. You should get about 15-16 cookies.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and turn it off. Leave the cookies to bake and dry until morning, or about 6-8 hours, until crisp.
Notes
Note on sugar options – If you are going to use all sugar or half sugar/half stevia, add the sugar to the egg whites when they are frothy when beating with the mixer. Beat until stiff, the fold in chips and nuts. If you want more of a mounded cookie versus a flat cookie, do this for the all stevia version too.
