Drop Cookies
Christmas Cookies

• 1 egg white
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Beat egg white (at room temperature) until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 2 tables at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in vanilla and pecans.

Drop mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 225° got 1 1/2 hours. Turn oven off; cool cookies in oven at least 1 hour. (Do not open oven door.) Remove from cookie sheets, using a spatula. Serve immediately, or store in airtight containers.
