This was my first time for making a meringue cookie. Very easy and delicious! Personally, I would prefer a smaller cookie; I would use a teaspoon the next time. I am planning to take these to my family Christmas dinner this year. I thought these would be a good alternative to the typical Christmas cookie. I used regular choc chips also thanks to a review I had read prior to making these cookies.
