had an excess of egg whites and tried these. They were very good. Didn't change the recipe one bit. And I used walnuts. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.

I made these for a girlfriend who mentioned her mother used to make meringue cookies. She loved these and said they tasted just like old times. These are also fairly low in fat.

I tasted this recipe at church and thought they were "perfect." I've made these three times this week, using peppermint extract, green food coloring, and mini chocolate chips. I can't get enough of these cookies! Roxygirl
