At a recent social function at my shop, amidst the various offerings of tasty amuse bouche was a plate of cookies that were by far the winners of the afternoon's snack buffet. Here's how you make them:
2 egg whites
pinch of salt
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
2/3 cp sugar
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cp pecan pieces
1 cp chocolate morsels
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat egg whites until foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar. Beat well, gradually adding sugar. Beat till stiff peaks form.
Add almond and vanilla. Fold in pecan pieces and chocolate morsels.
Drop by teaspoonsfuls on aluminium foil on a cookie sheet. Place in oven and turn off heat at once. Leave overnight or at least 7-8 hours without opening the oven door.
