Replies

Separate the whites into a clean DRY preferably metal bowl. If any yolk gets in there. Start Over!
I have trouble keeping the shell out of my egg when I crack them.. and you want me to keep the yolk out? :laugh: Can I just pay someone to make these for me?0 -
bump, i would like to get the motivation to try these, we will see...yum, thanks!0

You know... I want to try this, but it seems so labor intensive. :grumble:0

You'd burn the two calories making them, so really they'll end up being 0 calorie cookies! :bigsmile:0 -

Last time I made meringues I added unsweetened baking cocoa and a little bit of powdered coffee along with the splenda and vanilla extract. They were a bit hit!0
-
One question, how many cookies does this recipe make? Four egg whites are about 65 calories (and the splenda in that quantity also has some calories) so just looking for the totals. Thanks so much!0
-
I've made these and they're good but when I put them in a container they go soft! No idea why.
I hate it when things go soft...
:drinker: Why do I love you?0 -
I'd rather just eat a sleeve of oreo's.
Yes !!!0 -
BUMP... will make on the weekend!0

I am definitely making me some 2 calorie cookies! Very good directions. IMHO baking is like most things in life. The first time you bake something it seems so complicated. Keep practicing and in a short time you can do it in your sleep. Much cheaper than buying overpriced "diet" food.0

If you crack your eggs against each other, they crack better and not so fragmented and only one will crack at a time, or use a flat surface instead of the side of a pan. Learned this from my brother who is a chef. Works much better to crack eggs now and I rarely have splinters shells.0 -
Thanks so much for posting this! I cook a lot so I'm used to involved recipes, this one sounds really easy. I wonder though, can you possibly put in melted chocolate and mix it without causing the meringue to have problems? I'm really a chocolate addict so if i could add a little bit to this, i might not want a brownie!0

The chocolate might weigh down the meringue - maybe add cocoa to the mix then dip them in melted choc?0 -
I can get 50-70 cookies out of this recipe... egg whites and splenda are about 60 calories each, hence the 2 cal "cookie"0

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.

Does sweetener taste decent in baking? I can't stand it in tea and coffee, so have never tried it in baking, but maybe it's better in food than drink?0

I won't believe you unless you post pics.0

I can't stand it in tea and coffee and presume it would be worse in baking, especially meringues, which have such a delicate flavour and nothing to cover the taste.0 -
I hate stevia in baking, and nutrasweet isn't much better, but sucralose (Splenda) isn't too bad. Let's be honest, it's not sugar. It definitely has some grittiness as far as texture goes. As long as you add it slowly to the meringue, it doesn't ruin it.0
-
How bout I just spray vanilla scented febreze in the air and then inhale it. Less cals & work...

Well that is one reason why you have a 66 lb loss! Great idea, I will definately try this! Thanks! :flowerforyou:0

Can I just use egg whites substitute in a carton to measure the grams? I suck at separating eggs.
Crack your eggs in a bowl, then grab a clean water bottle. Turn it upside down, squeeze it, stick the opening over a yolk, then let go. It sucks the yolk inside the bottle and any egg white that gets sucked up falls right back out. It's awesome!
Oh, and the yolk stays completely intact!0 -

Take me out and store them in a covered container... If they last that long.
I would but I don't live in Maryland anymore.
Oh, and I love the last idea about sucking up the egg yolks. Will have to try that sometime.0 -

No problem! I saw it in a video someone posted on facebook. I couldn't keep such great information to myself. That would just be wrong.0 -
It's already a workout making these cookies.0
-
Bump, so trying these, thank u. :-)0

Do you have something for those of us who gag when ingesting artificial sweeteners?
No? I'll stick with my real cookies then.0 -
These sound fantastic!!!!!! I've always just bought them before..... I love making stuff and I love me some meringue business0
