Pantry Recipe:
don't forget to always have nuts and chocolate chips on hand
The title of this recipe was screaming my name. Baking cookies is not exactly my forte. I always forget something, the eggs, the oil, the actual cookies baking in the oven.
Last time I made cookies I thought for sure I had it made. I took out prefrozen cookie from the freezer and put them in the oven. 30 minutes later my daughter said "Hey Mom, the house smells like cinnamon." Well that is weird I thought to myself. Until I realized that it smelled like burnt cinnamon. I had completely forgotten the cookies and due to the fact that my husband's band was belting out 80s music in the basement that was literally shaking the house, I had not heard the buzzer.
Sooo, the whole concept of the Forgotten Cookie recipe completely appealed to me. I could do this. I could make cookies put them in the oven, turn off the oven immediately and completely forget about them for hours.
In the end these 5 ingredient meringue like cookies were delicious and easy to make. And I totally would have forgotten about them if my kids had not been nagging me. "When are they done, When are they done?"
