Ingredients

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your very own Forgotten Cookies:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whip Egg Whites: In a clean and dry mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add Sugar Gradually: Slowly incorporate the granulated sugar into the whipped egg whites, continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes more.
4. Mix in Flavoring: Gently add the vanilla extract and salt, stirring until fully combined.
5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
6. Scoop onto Baking Sheet: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, place dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and the tops are crisp.
8. Cool Completely: Once done, remove them from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Let Rest: For the ultimate flavor, allow your cookies to rest for at least 4 hours or overnight if time permits.
This step-by-step process will help you master the art of creating these irresistible Forgotten Cookies, ensuring a delightful treat every time.
