Well I did not stick to my plan of only making 5 Christmas cookie treats.... I do have a good excuse. The store bought Dulce de leche I had in the cupboard and it needed to be used up and I had egg whites left over from a recipe. Couldn't be wasteful could I? Found the Dulce De Leche recipe on line at
Taste and Tell blog.
Perhaps I should have stopped at the first 5 items . Not happy with the way these look. I don't think it was the recipe I think it was the store bought dulce. If I had used regular condensed milk and made the dulce myself I think it would have been successful. They do taste good however.
Next I had left over candied cherries to combine with the egg whites.
These are called Forgotten Cookies.
Ingredients;
2 egg whites
Pinch of salt
2/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 375. Beat egg whites, to which salt has been added, until very stiff. Beat in sugar and vanilla. Fold in candied cherries.
Drop spoonfuls onto parchment paper. Turn off heat at once and leave for 2 hours or even overnight, thus the name" forgotten" .
These cookies are delightful . Light and sweet.... Alternatively you could add chocolate chips and pecans.....
I really am done baking cookies. Now to package them up to share with the neighbours and family....

I keep finding recipes I want to try,too. I've made 12 different kinds of cookies! Luckily I give most of them away. Made fudge last night for my father - 1 1/2 bags of white choc. chips, 1 can condensed milk, choped cashews & chopped dried cherries. Couldn't be easier and it's delicious! I love making Christmas cookies, just don't want to be the one to eat them all. Your's look great.
I'd made those but never incorporated anything into the forgotten cookies. Maybe next time.
You've been baking up a storm... time to relax and enjoy the holidays.

Have a wonderful holiday...
