Dream Cookies

Dream Cookies


This recipe has seen me through MANY chocolate cravings in the past months. The recipe came to me from my father, Bill and step-mother, Cookie.

They are gluten free and are easy to make. Whip up a batch before bed and they're ready in the morning. I calculated them around 100 calories per serving. I make the cookies a little over teaspoon size, and I eat 3 per serving with a nice hot cup of coffee.

• 2 egg whites
• 1/3 cup sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp. almond extract
• 2 tbsp. cocoa powder
• 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

1. PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Beat egg whites until fluffy with a mixer, as for meringue. Add sugar, tartar, vanilla, almond extract, and cocoa powder, then beat until soft peaks form.
2. Add nuts and chocolate chips. Drop teaspoon size amounts onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
3. Place cookie sheet in oven and TURN OVEN OFF. Let cookies sit overnight.
4. In the morning, put them in an airtight container.

SO DELICIOUS!
