I used a different type of glaze on these cookies. I made a chocolate glaze by melting chocolate chips and milk together. It was delicious!

I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter and it really enhanced the flavor.

I'm not a fan of overly sweet cookies, so I cut the amount of sugar in the glaze in half. The cookies were still plenty sweet, but not too much.

I love that these cookies can be made ahead of time. I often make a batch on the weekend and then freeze them. They're perfect for a quick snack or dessert during the week.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few leftover after making other recipes, and these cookies are a perfect way to use them up.
