2 egg whites
2/3 c. sugar
Dash of salt
2 c. chopped pecans (or less); optional OR
1 sm. pkg. chocolate chips
Food coloring for a dash of color on holidays

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. TURN OFF OVEN WHEN YOU PUT COOKIES IN OVEN.

Beat egg whites until stiff, slowly add sugar and a dash of salt. Fold in pecans or chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheet. Do NOT open oven for 4 hours. May be left in oven overnight.

I make these in the evening and leave overnight. Makes approximately 36 cookies.
