    Meringues will go soft if they absorb any moisture from the air, so they have to be totally sealed off - I recommend an airtight container, plus a layer of plastic wrap over the top before you put the cover on.
    I've made these and they're good but when I put them in a container they go soft! No idea why.

    Quite a bit of people in this thread seem to be very judgemental and negative. Everyone has different ideas and I think this one's great. It's not like he's shoving the cookies down your throat, he's just putting a recipe out there. Chill out. If you don't wanna eat them THEN DON'T. I will definitely be trying the lemon ones!

    And if you're gonna inhale febreze instead........ please do. the whole can. wash it down with some bleach while you're at it for being so rude.

    someone needs a cookie...

    Or we could just eat them all in one sitting...That would be my plan anyway. :bigsmile:

    For complaining about people being so judgmental, you sure are being very judgmental and rude yourself. You literally just told people who made a joke about a cookie to kill themselves. Overachiever much?

    P.S. - Ironic post is ironic.

    Post telling people to chill out, not be judgemental, negative, or rude is not chill, and very judgemental, negative, and rude.

    That is a lot of jacking around. Can't I just buy these somewhere?

    Trader Joe's has meringue cookies. They're made with sugar so they're not as low cal, but I hate artificial sweeteners anyway.

    I love meringues! So light and they really do melt in your mouth. Once you get the technique down they are pretty easy to do, even easier if you have a stand mixer!

    I've tried to make meringues. Several times. They always came out smelling wonderful, but taste like dog poop. No, really. If I had to guess what dog poop tastes like, it would be my meringue cookies.

    I'll have to stick to store bought.
