FORGOTTEN COOKIES
These meringues are crispy on the outside and marshmallow-y on the inside, with bits of chocolate throughout. The best part of this recipe is that you turn off the heat once the cookies go in the oven, so you can truly forget about them until the morning. A spring-loaded ice cream scoop makes fast work of forming the meringues and you can use any size you like.

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.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a stand mixer set at medium speed, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the cream of tartar, vanilla, and salt and continue to whisk until soft peaks form. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and continue whisking until the sugar has dissolved. Continue adding the sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, letting the sugar dissolve completely between each addition (you can check by rubbing a small bit of the meringue between your fingers to make sure it's not grainy). Continue whisking until stiff peaks form.
- Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips and pecans. Use a large tablespoon to spoon heaping portions of the meringue on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart (you should have enough for 12 cookies). Place in the oven and bake 5 minutes, the turn off the heat. Let the cookies dry in the oven for 8 hours or preferably overnight.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, which will make the cookies light and airy.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at the correct temperature. The temperature will vary depending on the recipe, but generally speaking, cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
