      Yield: 12 Cookies
 
      2 lg Egg whites;

      1 pn Fine sea salt
  3 1/2 oz Caster sugar (100 g)
      1 ts Corn flour

    1/4 ts Ground cardamom

  These little cookies--described by one friend as tasting like a cookie
  within a cookie--are really a mixture between a meringue and a cookie.
  Hence they've become known at home, where they're immensely popular,
  as Merookies, and are ideal with a cup of coffee after dinner. They
  are called "forgotten" as, just like the "Forgotten Pudding" in
  Nigella Express, they are not baked, but put in a hot oven, which you
  immediately turn off, leaving the cookies to bake in the fading
  residual heat overnight. I find it all too easy actually to forget
  them, and always put a post-it sticker on the oven to remind me
  they're in there, so I don't burn them to a cinder by preheating the
  oven to cook something else in it the next day.
  
  Preheat the oven to 180?C/160?C Fan/Gas 4/350?F and line a large
  baking tray with baking paper. Whisk together the egg whites and salt
  in a grease-free bowl, until you have soft peaks. Whisk in the sugar
  a little at a time until thick and gleaming.
  
  By hand, fold in the corn flour, vinegar, and cardamom, then add the
  chocolate chips and most of the pistachios and very gently fold these
  in too.
  
  With a spoon, drop mounded blobs of the mixture, 4 to 5 cm (2") in
  diameter, onto the prepared tray. Sprinkle with the remaining
  pistachios.
  
  Put the cookies into the oven, shut the door and turn off the oven
  immediately. Let the cookies sit in the turned-off oven overnight.
