FORGOTTEN COOKIES

Steps:

• Position 2 oven racks in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Beat the egg whites and salt in a large bowl on medium speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and increase the speed to medium high. Beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Continue beating until the meringue is thick, glossy and holds stiff peaks, about 6 minutes. Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
• Using a spring-loaded ice-cream scoop (or 2 spoons, using one to nudge the meringue off the other), scoop the meringue into mounds about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle each cookie with a few more chocolate chips.
• Put the baking sheets in the oven, then immediately turn off the oven. Let the meringues stand in the oven until dry, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
