Go To Bed Cookies

The name of these cookies comes from the original recipe that my Grandma made. She would place the cookies in the warm oven, turn it off, and go to bed. In the morning they would be set and ready to eat. The batter is a simple meringue with chocolate chips thrown in. They are light and just delightful.

• 1/4 tsp salt
•  1/4 tsp cream of tarter

Beat eggs whites till foamy. Add salt and cream of tarter. Continue beating until egg whites hold stiff peaks, but not dry. Add sugar 2 tbsp at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.

Bake at 300 for 25 minutes.
