No Peeks

By: Rosina 
" I used to make these cookies for my kids 30 years ago. We called them "No Peeks" because peeking before they were ready would have ruined them. It was always a ceremony for the kids because I'd put them in the oven just before they went to bed. In the morning the cookies would be "miraculously" all done. Use any color of food coloring you desire."

Original Recipe Yield 4 - 5 dozen
 

Ingredients

  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 dash cream of tartar
  • 1 1/3 cups white sugar
  • 4 drops green food coloring

  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
  2. Beat egg whites until fluffy. Add salt and cream of tartar. Adding sugar gradually, continue to beat until egg whites are stiff and will stand. Fold in desired food coloring, peppermint extract and chocolate chips.
