  1. Mine turned out great! My 9 year old daughter helped pipe them out into cute little cakes. We made 3 batches. Our cooked for only 30-40 mins. So make sure to watch for the cracking texture. Great recipe!
     
  2. I was a bit worried having read the review by Michelle, but these came out great. I mixed all the dry ingredients first (sugar, powdered whites, +Tbsp. Cocoa powder), then added 4 Tbsp warm water and hand mixed it for a couple minutes until the whites thickened up. I beat it on high speed for about 4-5 minutes, and though not as fluffy as normal egg whites would be, it was a great thick texture perfect for meringues. Thanks HeatherFeather for a great recipe!
     
  3. I had high hopes for this recipe, but all I ended up doing was wasting a bunch of ingredients. Very disappointing. After following the recipe directions and letting my Kitchenaid whip the first mixture for 5 minutes, I had a soupy mess. Tried to rescue it by emptying and washing out the bowl, whipping 2 real egg whites, then slowly adding first mixture to it, but all it resulted in was just a bigger soupy mess.
     
  4. I've had this recipe in my cookbook for months and finally got some powdered egg white. Turned out well, I only added 1/2 cup choc chips, and made exactly 24 meringues. I don't like to use egg yolks because of the cholesterol and this was a simple way of making them.
