How To Make forgotten cookies

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 350°. Let it heat up while you're mixing the ingredients. Grease a cookie sheet. Set aside.
• Step 2
  Beat together the egg whites, salt, & cream of tartar 'til fluffy and peaks stand up.
• Step 3
  Add sugar very gradually.
• Step 4
  Beat until VERY STIFF.
• Step 5
  Gently fold in the mini-chocolate-chips and the peppermint oil.
• Step 6
  Drop by teaspoonful onto greased cookie sheet.
• Step 7
  Place into your pre-heated oven, and TURN THE OVEN OFF. Leave the cookies in the oven overnight.
• Step 8
  Makes about 2-1/2 dozen. These freeze well after they're thoroughly cooled.
• Step 9
  Notes: you can use other flavored oils, too. I have also substitued almond extract, but remember you're going from one DROP of oil, to about 1/8 TEASPOON of extract, so don't overdo the extract or you'll make the mixture too runny and they won't turn out right. I have also used mini mint-flavored chips.
