No, but I can post it, now. I have made these cookies for many years,
it is a nice way to use leftover egg yolks.


Forgotten Cookies

2 egg whites, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2/3 cup sugar
pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°. Cover one baking sheet with parchment paper or
use aluminum foil, sprayed with PAM. Beat egg whites until foamy, add
cream of tartar. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until they
hold stiff peaks. Mix in salt and vanilla. Stir in pecans and chocolate
chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the baking sheet. These cookies spread
very little, so you can put them close together. Put cookies in the
oven, then turn the oven off. Leave the cookies in the oven overnight
with the door closed. They should be ready to eat in about 4-5 hours,
though (don't ask me how I know).
