Coconut Meringues

Yummy!!! I make these every December to give to our neighbors and every year I get requests for the recipe. I was always intimidated by the idea of meringues, but these are super easy to make.

these turned out great! i also made a batch with chocolate chips. YUM! very easy to make too. just wish they baked faster. :)

This made fantastic cookies. I had always had trouble getting the meringue to stiffen quickly... this only took a few minutes. I changed the recipe as I do not like coconut. Instead, I substituted the coconut and vanilla extract with peppermint extract, eliminated the shaved coconut, and added 1/2 pkg of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Divine! I also lowered the oven temp slightly to make sure the cookies didn't brown.

Made these with a small substitution of almond extract for the coconut and added chopped chocolate. Fabulous! Now that I am in Christmas mode, going to try peppermint and a little red food color, and then maybe dip in chocolate.
