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 clean mixing bowl, whip egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the vanilla extract and salt into the egg white mixture with a spatula.
  5. Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips gently to distribute throughout the mixture.
  6. Drop tablespoon-sized dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tops are lightly golden and feel crisp.
  8. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack, then let rest for at least 4 hours or overnight.
