These easy to make Forgotten Cookies are sweet egg white meringues combined with chocolate chips and pecans. You&#39;re sure to love them!

Forgotten Cookies

salt

sugar

vanilla

mini chocolate chips

pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place the egg whites and a pinch of salt in a medium mixing bowl. Beat at a medium low speed until the egg whites are frothy.

Increase the mixer speed to high and slowly add the sugar, beating until the egg whites form stiff peaks.

Add the vanilla extract, chocolate chips, and pecans. Gently fold the ingredients to avoid deflating the meringue.

Drop the meringue mixture by teaspoons, spacing about an inch apart, on foil covered baking sheets.

Place in the preheated oven and immediately turn the oven off.

Leave the cookies in the oven for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight. Do not open the oven door.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven.

These Easy Meringue Cookies are sweet, crispy and as light as a cloud. They are perfect for any occasion and can be dressed up with different colors of flavors or used as decor on cakes and pies. Also known as Forgotten Cookies, Meringue Cookies are simple to make (with only 3 ingredients + water) and this fat-free dessert will melt in your mouth!  They taste a little like crunchy marshmallows!

Easy Meringue Cookies

meringue powder or two egg whites

water

granulated sugar

vanilla extract (or other flavor of your choice)

Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone mats.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the meringue powder and water. Mix with the whisk attachment on high speed until soft peaks form. 

With the mixer still running on high, gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it's all used and stiff peaks form. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. 

Check the batter for smoothness by rubbing a small amount between your fingers to be sure all sugar is disolved and it's no longer gritty. If it is grainy, mix longer until it's smooth and glossy.

Scoop some batter into a piping bag fitted with large piping tip. Pipe desired shapes onto the cookie sheets.

Bake for 45 minutes at 250°F. Turn the oven off, slightly open the oven door and leave the cookies overnight (or for 6-8 hours) until they're completely dry and crispy.  Peel off and enjoy!

I make these using egg whites instead of the powder 
and add pecans-  I love them!

Absolutley awesome! These mereinguies are light and fluffy, I reccomend leaving them in the oven overngiht. They have a slightly bitter taste from the powder if you use too much, so be really careful and to be extra sure try using extra 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.

Hi, I am wondering if you have tried any of the sugar substitutes such as granular monk fruit?  I'd like to try a sugar-free version.

Easy recipe! I added the color with almond flavor while it was still whipping and they came out great!! I’ve always been petrified to make these, but it was easier than I thought. Thank you for such an easy recipe.

I have been beating for a long time now and it still feels grainy :/ what can I do?

I made Roses today for the first time and they turned out great, so thank you for this simple recipe! Only question, I made small bite size pieces and they cam out tasting like burnt marshmallow. I mean I like that taste but they aren't supposed to taste like that! How long should I switch cooking time to when make smaller sizes?

It didn’t work :( 
Once all the sugar was slowly added after soft peaks, it deflated... I’ve tried 3x now with meringue powder.
It just deflated and does not come back up, maybe im doing something wrong but it did work 

Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was 
extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything.
Do you have any tips for newbie blog writers? I'd certainly appreciate it.
