Step-by-Step Instructions for Forgotten Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whip egg whites at medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually sprinkle granulated sugar into the whipped egg whites and continue mixing on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in vanilla extract and salt with a spatula.
  5. Carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the meringue mixture.
  6. Drop dollops of the meringue onto the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each mound.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Allow the Forgotten Cookies to rest for at least 4 hours or overnight at room temperature before serving.
