Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, mixing on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form.
  4. With the mixer running, add vanilla extract and salt, mixing for another 30 seconds.
  5. Gently fold in chocolate chips with a spatula without over-mixing.
  6. Scoop the mixture onto the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each mound.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until light golden and crisp on top.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Let your Forgotten Cookies rest for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal flavor.
