My favorite holiday cookie recipe uses just the yolk part of the egg, so after my cookie baking marathon , I'm now stuck with 8 egg whites. Any suggestions? Mister suggested lemon meringue pie, but that uses both parts of the egg, just in different parts of the pie. I'm fearful that I might have to resort to some awful egg white quiche or such

Meringue Kisses are good but I dont have a recipe...easy inertnet find. I used to make cocnut macaroons with my leftovers.
Here is recipe.



Coconut and Chocolate Macaroons
30 Cookies

4 large egg whites
1¼ cups sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey
2½ cups unsweetened coconut (see note)
¼ cup flour
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped

In a large skillet, mix together the egg whites, sugar, salt, honey, coconut and flour.

Heat over low-to-moderate heat on the stovetop, stirring constantly, scraping the bottom as you stir.

When the mixture just begins to scorch at the bottom, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Transfer to a bowl to cool to room temperature.

(At this point, the mixture can be chilled for up to one week, or frozen for up to two months.)

When ready to bake, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Form the dough into 1 1/2-inch mounds with your fingers evenly spaced on the baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until deep golden brown. Cool completely.

To dip the macaroons in chocolate, melt the chocolate in a clean, dry bowl set over a pan of simmering water (or in a microwave.) Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Dip the bottoms of each cookie in the chocolate and set the cookies on the baking sheet. Refrigerate 5-10 minutes, until the chocolate is set

I make a pretty cookie called "Forget~Me~Nots"..........

Preheat oven to 350.

2 egg whites
1/2 c sugar
1 c chocolate chips
1/2 c chopped pecans

Whip egg whites, gradually adding sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form. Stir in chocolate chips & pecans.

Drop by spoonful~making peaks~ onto a foil lined cookie sheet. Put in the oven and turn it off. Leave them in for 6 hours or overnight.

It's a pretty holiday cookie. Store in an airtight container.

Bisquick Sausage Ball Recipe

2 cups Bisquick
10 oz. shredded cheese (or shred your own)
1 pound sausage

Put the Bisquick in the bowl. Add the cheese. NOTE: If you are grating yoru own then, grate a little and cover with the Bisquick. Repeat until cheese i mixed in. You can avoid a huge clump o' cheese this way.

Once the Bisquick and cheese are mixed together, it's time to add the
sausage. I use Jimmy Dean Hot when I'm not worried about folks who can't take the heat. Cheap sausage makes for greasy balls. (Don't go there.)

Now mix it all together by hand. Yep, by hand. It's all ooky but you need it nice and smooth. If you have helpful children, let them do it.

Once the mixture is ready, cover a cookie sheet with sides or a baking
dish with tin foil. Roll the mixture into small balls about the size of walnuts and place them on the pan about 1/2 an inch apart. They will spread out.

Bake the sausage balls at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. The sausage
balls should be lightly browned. Some spots will be a little darker than
other spots.

Once the sausage balls are cool, put them in airtight containers and
store them in the refrigerator. Can be served cold or hot. Heated is better. Wrap them in some foil and heat them in the oven.

It was a long week for me and my new schedule doesn't allow me to make dinner at the normal time Monday-Friday. So tonight I am really happy to be able to sit down at the table and eat dinner with my lady. After that maybe we'll get in the hot tub. Then later see what's happening over at Juniper Creek on the season premiere of Big Love.
I'll be making:

Pomodoro Fresco Sourdough Bruschetta (I'll be using fresh basil that apretty has been growing in our garden)
Eggplant parmesan
Meatballs (my mom's family receipe)
Spagetti with marinara
Parducci red wine
