Cranberry Cookie Kisses

Submitted by ilovebakedgoods

"This was my first experience with a meringue cookie and I was thoroughly impressed! I'm ready to try more meringue cookies. I'm not even a big fan of cranberry, but these cookies have made me want to try more cranberry recipes. These are crispy and light, and 4 cookies is only 1 WW Point! I got these from the Weight Watchers website."

A great "guilt free" cookie to add to my cookie tray. I'm not sure if I didn't bake them long enough, but they were a little chewy inside, but the flavor was still good. A nice change from all the sweeter cookies.

These are really cool. This was quite different. Now I'm trying to thing of other flavors that I could do this with. I know that I will make these again.
