  1. These are fantastic! I made a double batch with no vanilla or food colouring but added a little cream of tartar. I could have eaten all 28 of them myself but somehow managed to restrain myself and keep them for my Christmas party tomorrow night! I only left them in the oven for 2 hours but they turned out just perfectly for my liking... still chewy on the inside. Lovely! Can't wait to whip up another batch! Thanks so much!
     
  2. I actually used a slightly different recipe to make th e meringues, but since I got the idea of using mint chocolate chips from this one, I wanted to give you credit, too ... they're delicious! But here's a hint: If you use 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar when you beat your egg whites, it won't be nearly as much work -- mine were stiff in about 3 minutes, and adding the sugar (1 Tbsp. at a time) took no more than another five minutes. The mint chips really make the meringues a delight. Thanks for posting!

I live in Minneapolis with my husband and our dog Dexter. We just got married in Oct. of 2006 and live in an old house that we remodeled ourselves and turned into a duplex. He's a med student and is just starting his residency in family practice. I'm an adult mental health case manager. My job is super-stressful and takes up most of the brain power that I have in a day, but cooking is relaxing to me, and I love trying new combinations of foods. <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
