We sometimes call these Forgotten Cookies because you turn off the oven and leave them in to cool. We have actually forgotten about them and accidentally turned on the oven to cook something else while they were still in there! These are fun cookies for the whole family. Kids especially love to search for the hidden chocolate chips.
by Pat Savoie
2 egg white
1 dash salt
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup sugar
1 cup semisweet chocolate
1 cup pecans
Beat egg whites until white. Add sugar and salt. Beat until stiff. Fold in remaining ingredients. Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or tin foil. Bake 300 for a few minutes, then turn the oven off and leave the door shut until the oven is cool.
