…Meringue Cookies!

I have a serious sweet tooth and I needed something to shove in my mouth this weekend in order to satisfy my cravings! I ended up in the kitchen Saturday and Sunday making meringues. Once you get the hang of making meringues they are quite fun to make. You can get creative and experiment with different flavors, add-ins, colors, and shapes.

The recipe I use can be found here:

If you’ve never made meringues before here is a site that has some helpful tips:

Here’s what I made this past weekend- each “cookie” comes out to about 15 calories each.

    Very pretty, you did a great job! The mocha ones are making me drool.

    Lover meringues. I like to make them with leftover ingrediants from other cookies. Just finished off a batch of coconut and mini chocolate chip.

    Definatly reiterate the fourth point made for "tips", make sure there is absoutly no egg yolk in the batter. They'll still bake, but they'll just be flat and sad. Learned that one the hard way... it was just one little dot of yolk!
