From the first time I baked these cookies, they've been a lip-smacking success. Old-fashioned and attractive, they make a perfect holiday pastry. I'm the grandmother of six and stay active with a German folk dance group. Ingredients:
2 egg whites |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1/2 cup flaked coconut |
1/4 cup chopped almonds |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Beat in vinegar and vanilla.
2. Meanwhile, in a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Fold into egg white mixture; fold in coconut and almonds.
3. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-11 minutes or until firm. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
