I’ve been making these cookies since the 1980s and they are still a family favorite. The recipe was given to me by a sweet elderly neighbor, Helen Peters. I think of her each time that I make them which includes today. They are easy. Give this recipe a try!
Forgotten Cookies
2 egg whites at room temperature
3/4 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 cup of chopped pecans
1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Beat egg whites until foamy. Slowly add sugar and continue beating until mixture is stiff. Mix in vanilla. Fold in nuts and chips. Drop by teaspoon onto prepared cookie sheet. Place in oven and immediately TURN OVEN OFF. Leave overnight. Makes approximately 2 dozen cookies.

Looks good and since you remember them and your neighbor loving, definitely not forgotten!!! Now, a questions… If you sing while you make them, is it known as The Baker’s Opera?
Seasoning Greetings!!! I love the aromas that waft throughout the house during this time of year.
