  1. I think the problem isn't with the brown sugar but with the directions, in all of the meringue recipes that I have you add the sugar one Tablespoon at a time. If it is added to quickly the meringue will fall. Give it a try and see it that help.
     
  2. The brown sugar appears to be a problem, as I had lovely peaks until I had added about 1/2 of the sugar. The whites just collapsed, and cookies spread far too much. Taste is fine, the flavor is almost like maple syrup, but these cookies are not up to standard for a meringue. I might try again with part white sugar.
     
  3. These are so yummy! Light and delicious! I couldn't get the egg whites to stiffen up after I added the brown sugar. I think my mixer might be the problem. Even with that problem, they turned out great! I just cooked them for less time. Thanks for a tasty recipe!
