Forgotten Kiss Cookies Recipes

FORGOTTEN COOKIES

Steps:

• Position 2 oven racks in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Beat the egg whites and salt in a large bowl on medium speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and increase the speed to medium high. Beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Continue beating until the meringue is thick, glossy and holds stiff peaks, about 6 minutes. Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
• Using a spring-loaded ice-cream scoop (or 2 spoons, using one to nudge the meringue off the other), scoop the meringue into mounds about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle each cookie with a few more chocolate chips.
• Put the baking sheets in the oven, then immediately turn off the oven. Let the meringues stand in the oven until dry, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

FORGOTTEN KISSES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a stand mixer set at medium speed, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the cream of tartar, vanilla, and salt and continue to whisk until soft peaks form. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and continue whisking until the sugar has dissolved. Continue adding the sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, letting the sugar dissolve completely between each addition (you can check by rubbing a small bit of the meringue between your fingers to make sure it's not grainy). Continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
• Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips and pecans. Use a large tablespoon to spoon heaping portions of the meringue on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart (you should have enough for 12 cookies). Place in the oven and bake 5 minutes, the turn off the heat. Let the cookies dry in the oven for 8 hours or preferably overnight.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until fluffy but not at all dry. (Be careful not to over beat.) Add the sugar gradually, about 3 tablespoons at a time. When 1/2 of the sugar has been added, add the vanilla extract. Continue beating and adding remaining sugar in batches, until all of the sugar is dissolved and the meringue is very shiny and tight. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Working one teaspoon at a time, push a teaspoonful of meringue from the tip of 1 teaspoon with the back of another teaspoon onto the lined baking sheets, leaving 1-inch of space between cookies. Place baking sheets in the preheated oven and turn the oven off. Leave the cookies (undisturbed) in the oven for at least 2 hours and up to overnight, or until cookies are crisp and dry.
