Forgotten Cookies

Forgotten cookies, called so because you make the batter and portion them, then put them in the oven and forget about them overnight. Make them with all sugar, half sugar or all stevia depending on your dietary preference. Once made, you will never forget these cookies. Note, room temperature whites whip better than cold ones.

Equipment

  • Baking sheets

Ingredients

  • 2 large egg whites at room temperature
  • teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • cup granular sugar
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped 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.
