These are called "forgotten" cookies because you are supposed to "forget" about them when they are drying out in the oven. Another cookie that represents Christmastime for me. As I kid, I could probably eat a dozen or so at one sitting. Growing up my mom would always make these cookies along with "Mom's Butter Cookies" [see below] because the butter cookies only call for egg YOLKS (so you're not wasting any eggs).
4 egg whites
1 ¼ cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 325°
Beat whites until stiff peaks form (if there is a trace of yolk, peaks will not form so take care when separating).
Gradually add sugar, then salt, then vanilla.
Drop 2 tablespoons batter per cookie onto very well greased cookie sheets. Place cookie sheets into the oven and then turn the heat off. Leave cookies in the oven overnight to harden.
