  1. These look delicious – and super easy! Thanks for linking up at Whatever Goes Wednesday last week. This was the most viewed link at last week’s party, so we’ll be highlighting it at tomorrow’s party. We hope you’ll stop by and party with again this week!

  2. Oh my these look wonderful! I feel my self drooling over the beautiful photos of them. MUST MAKE this weekend! Thanks for sharing. Stopping by from Craftibilities.blogspot.com

  3. Yummy! These look great. It’s been about a year since I’ve made meringues. This just might inspire me to get at it again. Pinning

  4. I Have a question for when these are cooling in the oven, should the oven door be cracked at all? These look amazing by the way. Thank you.

    1. I have done it both ways with the door cracked and without it cracked and it has not made much of a difference though it is recommended to leave the door cracked :)

    1. Has anyone replaced the vanilla extract with peppermint extract? I’ve never used peppermint and was wondering how much to add to this recipe.

  5. I just made these for the first time and they are currently cooling in the oven. They are flat. What did I do wrong?

    1. Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that! One cause could be the egg whites weren’t whipped enough and another is that they could have been whipped too quickly causing larger air bubbles that then deflated. Don’t give up!

  6. Just followed this recipe and they came out AMAZING!!! I’m going to be perfecting my skills to make beautiful merengue cookies for Christmas next year

  7. I have been looking for a cookie to make that fits my Wellness Wins lifestyle! I’ve released #44 pounds since September and do not wish to carry anymore for my love of Christmas cookies! I modified the recipe to use all powdered sugar because it is -19 points per batch (I doubled) so got 70 cookies! Still in oven so I’ll have to come back and tell you how they taste!
    Thanks for the recipe.

  8. These are one of my favorite cookies.
    I like to use mini chocolate chips and sometimes I add finely chopped pecans too. Oh yum.

  9. I just took them out of the oven about an hour ago and too embarrassed to tell you how many I’ve eaten already! Delicious ! I added some cinnamon too. Been baking sooo much during this quarantine and my waistline shows it so thought I’d try to lighten it up a bit. LOL Thanks for this great recipe. BTW, do they need to be refrigerated? Don’t know how to submit a picture.

  10. This is the second year I’ve made them and I always get Oooo’s and Ahhh’s. I don’t even use a piping tool, I just drop them by tablespoon on the cookie sheet. And they look beautiful. This year I’m going to try to crush up some peppermint sticks and use it in place of the chocolate chips. Not sure if I should just use a half cup or more. Wish me luck!
