I made a huge batch last night and so freaking simple.
I had so many requests for these this year after toting them around last Christmas to parties. They are light, crispy and soft on the inside...freaking delicious.

RECIPE
4 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
1 small bag chopped pecans
(note you can put anything you want in them. the last batch i put about 1/2c of chocolate chips, 1/2c white chocolate chips and the pecans)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Add vanilla to egg whites and beat with an electric hand mixer on high until just foamy.
Add cream of tartar and beat on high until soft peaks form.
Slowly add in sugar, while continuing to beat on high, until all sugar is added and tall stiff peaks have formed.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and pecans with a big spoon.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper, and portion out cookies. They don't need to be spaced out much.
Place cookies in the oven and turn it off about 1-2 minutes later (or immediately if you think you'll forget)
Open oven next morning & check cookies. If they are still slightly gooey in the morning turn oven on to 200 for 10-15 minutes then turn it back off and check again in a couple hours.
Store in an airtight container for a week or two

ORANGE BALLS!
Best Christmas treat ever
*I recommend you double this recipe since you can't really find 6oz frozen concentrate these days.
1 lb vanilla wafers mini work.. Basically a whole package
1 stick unsalted butter
1 6oz can frozen orange juice
1 lb confectionary sugar .. About 2.2 cups
1 cup finely chopped pecans
Put wafers into 1 gallon freezer bag and smash with a rolling pin until it turns to dust.
Cream butter orange juice and sugar together in large bowl
Add remaining ingredients and mash together. Smaller balls work better, drop into bowl of powdered sugar.
Before rolling into balls, put "dough" in fridge a couple hours to make them harder and the powdered sugar won't absorb into them and disappear after rolling in it.
I found filling the sugar bowl up with 20-30 balls then shaking it around and freezing 3-4 out at a time with your hand like a cage allows you to shake the excess off while leaving perfect snowballs.
