I just made these for the second time-the first attempt was a flop! The cooking time had to be changed to 225 degrees for and hour and then I turned the oven off and left them in the oven for another hour. The end result was GREAT!!! I used measurable splenda in place of the sugar so I could have these on my WW diet. My calculations show that I can eat the whole batch for less than 2 points!

The instructions are very clear and it is easy to make. The result however was not what we had expected. After three hours drying in the oven the cookies were brittle on the outside and rock-hard inside. I think it is better to bake the meringues (at 225F, 110C, for 45 minutes to one hour) than to let them dry at a lower temperature. Unfortunately we had to discard all the cookies. I am sorry for the low rating but I do thank you for posting.

My husband and I were married on November 3rd, 2007 so no longer in the newlywed stage but still loving every minute of it. We just moved back to our hometown of Springfield after a year in the south for the military. My husband is an Army officer in the Guard and I am going back to school to pursue a career in nursing. We are expecting our first little one in April and we CANT wait!! I absolutely love to cook and was in love as soon as I found this site. As I come across recipes of old and new ones I discover I will be quick to share.
