cookies while you sleep (fat free, wheat free meringues)

11-10-2008, 08:22 PM

Ds and I made these the other day - the idea is to make them in the evening and let them sit overnight, but we did them in the morning and enjoyed them after dinner.

They are crisp and sweet and highly addictive.

4 egg whites
scant 2/3 c. evaporated cane juice
scant 1 cup mini chocolate chips
2 tsp. vanilla extract
generous pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 350. Beat egg whites until foamy; add salt and beat until stiff. Gradually add sugar and beat until very thick. Beat in vanilla; stir in chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto parchment paper covered cookie trays. Put cookies in oven; turn off the oven and leave overnight, or a minimum of 5 hours.

Be warned: this makes a *lot* of cookies, so you'll need two big trays or several smaller ones. You can put the cookies close together; they hold their shape and don't spread out.

You can make these without the chips - that's how we ate them when I was growing up.

we LOVE these! our recipe is slightly different, in that it is 2 egg whites, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and 1/2 cup of choc. chips, at 300 deg. for 30 minutes. But completely the same idea.

ds doesn't do wheat, so we made these for his birthday treats for his class. I'll have to try making it your way one of these days

Oops! False advertising.

I forgot about the fat in the chips. Okay, so they're not entirely fat free.

Apparently, the air can migrate to your head, making you post the recipe title all wrong.
