Brownie Crisps

Shari made a coconut cream pie for Thanksgiving. Great recipe. Ask if you want it. Anyway, I went looking for cookie recipes that would use up the 7 egg whites left over from the pie. This is what I came up with and, I think their efforts to reproduce that crunch and chew of the brownie edges came pretty close. They are easy to make and very satisfying to eat.

King Arthur Flour

Ingredients:

½ cup all-purpose flour
