These cookies are indeed the Forgotten Cookies – I completely forgot to post about them.
I made these Forgotten Cookies last Christmas – if you remember my cookie madness from Instagram – these were one of six I made, which to be honest, I have yet to post about any of them – I’m that behind. Someone light some cookie fire under me!!! Well, except my lofthouse cookies – you can find them here from way back when, I made them the exact same way but didn’t tint the icing this time :)
So, Forgotten Cookies. Why forgotten?! Well, to be honest, I have absolutely no idea, but I think, I think it pertains to the final step of the recipe ;) They are a family recipe passed down in a family cookbook my dad put together for all of us to have. All the family recipes in one place – he created a “food” one & a “sweets” one – these are from the sweets book.
To describe them, I would call them a vanilla meringue with chocolate chips. Now, I have never made meringues before so I am not sure if they qualify as a meringue in the methods to make them, but to me, that is what they taste like and look like (with chocolate chips!).
I don’t really remember having them as a kid, but once I bit down into one, the memories came rushing back. Their delightfulness was brought right back to the forefront!! I think they’ll become a tradition around here :)
A meringue-style cookie with a little bit of chocolate baked inside - Forgotten Cookies are the perfect sweet treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until very stiff.
- Gradually add sugar and vanilla, mixing between pours.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop mixture by small spoonfuls onto parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Place cookie sheet in preheated oven and turn off oven immediately.
- Let sit in heated oven until cookies are completely baked.
- DO NOT remove cookies from oven until they are completely baked - it is best to prepare them the night before & let them sit in the oven overnight to "bake".
- Open oven in the morning to a delightful surprise - your forgotten cookies - baked, cooled, and ready to eat!
