Aunt Jan gave me this recipe when Shawn and I married and said it was Uncle Bob's favorite! Over the years, I have added some gold edible paint for parties.
Funny story - Durga and I had cooked all day preparing for Dianne Letsch's going away party the next day. We had made trays of the Forget Me Nots and painted them with gold powder. We put them in the oven to store. Well, we FORGOT and preheated the oven the next morning for another dish and burned all the FORGET ME NOTS!
2 egg whites Dash of salt 2/3 C sugar 1 C finely chopped nuts 1 C chocolate chips 1 teaspoon vanilla TIP: For parties you can buy edible gold dust and paint on after they have cooled overnight.
Beat egg white and salt until foamy. Add sugar slowly, beating after each addition until all sugar is added and is stiff. Fold in vanilla, nuts and chocolate.
Drop by teaspoon on well greased pan and bake in preheated over at 350 degrees. Turn oven off immediately after putting them into the over.
FORGET them until they are completely cold. They are great to make at night and take them out the next morning.
