Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Forgotten Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the room-temperature egg whites using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar to the whipped egg whites one tablespoon at a time, whisking on high until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently mix in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, folding these into the meringue until fully combined.
  5. Carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Drop dollops of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between each.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden and crisp on the outside.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. For best flavor and texture, allow the cooled cookies to rest for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
