This recipe is really a stretch of the imagination. With no cultures represented in Antarctica, I didn't really plan on sampling cuisine from this fascinating continent. There has been food eaten here, of course, but krill isn't on our menu and we're not planning to kill weak sled dogs for sustenance. The meringue we tried last week was still on my mind, and brought back memories of these cookies. I found the recipe, changed the name, and made them last night. They were a hit, and Josiah keeps asking for the "freeze cookies."
Iceberg Cookies
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Ingredients:
2 egg whites
1/8 t. salt
1/8 t. cream of tartar
1 t. vanilla
3/4 c. sugar
Less than 1 c. chocolate (or carob!) chips
Beat first four ingredients until soft peaks form. Add sugar gradually while beating until stiff peaks form (be patient, this takes time!) Fold in chocolate chips. Cover cookie sheet with baking paper or aluminum foil. Drop by teaspoonful on to cookie sheet. Bake 25 minutes.
Our next country is Japan. Not sure how to do this with Micah's MSG trouble. Even if it is not an added ingredient, it is naturally present in many of the ingredients used in Asian food, and we don't yet know what his reaction will be. I'll be putting my thinking cap on!!
