I was trying to figure out what to do with these Andes baking chips I'd just bought ... and the thought just occurred to me: Meringues! I used this recipe but used the Andes instead of the mini chocolate chips. I'd forgotten how wonderful meringues are, and how diet-friendly -- 2 meringues are just 1 WW point (even with the Andes chips). Thanks so much for posting this!

I lvoe meringues. They are one of my very favorite cookies. These were easy to do and came out quite good. I made them big because I was tired and therefore did not get the 48 cookies the recipe said I should, but I'm aware that it is my fault! Because they were bigger they were still a little chewy after 40 minutes, but a lovely flavor. Something I'll make again I'm sure. Thanks for posting this one.

Very good. I added mint chocolate chips to mine. Delish!!

As close to perfect as a meringue can get! Crunchy and dry throughout. Good chocolate flavor with chocolate bursts from the mini chocolate chips. Full-size chocolate chips would not be as good. I love Cooking Light recipes and these will definitely be a regular at my house. Thanks for posting!!

These are so easy to make and are delicious. Everyone loves them even the grandchildren, that mean that there is no need for separate desserts. Everyone can have the same one and I can still stay on WW program. Win! Win!
