Step-by-Step Instructions for Forgotten Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whip egg whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl at medium-high speed for 2–3 minutes until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add sugar while beating for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens and stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in vanilla extract and salt using a silicone spatula.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips with a gentle motion to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  6. Drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes until lightly golden with a crisp top while remaining soft inside.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. For best flavor, allow cookies to rest for at least 4 hours or overnight.
