Forgotten Cookies Naturally Gluten Free Recipes

FORGOTTEN COOKIES (NATURALLY GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line two baking sheets with foil.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until frothy using a hand mixer (or stand mixer).
• Add sugar gradually and beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold in salt, vanilla extract, nuts, and chocolate chips to prevent whipped mixture from deflating.
• Drop mixture by the spoonful onto prepared baking sheets. (I use a spoon that is about tablespoon size.)
• Place baking sheets on the middle rack (in the second rack slot from the bottom) and TURN OFF THE OVEN. Immediately CLOSE the oven and leave cookies in the closed oven overnight (or for several hours---three hours or more).
• After removing cookies from the oven, store them in an airtight container.
