Incredible!	These are easy and delicious! I substituted no calorie sugar (Erythritol) instead of the real thing. I got 21 nice size cookies @ 26 calories each. I did chill the bowl and beaters plus turned the oven off when cookies were browned and left them in for a couple of hours.	Submitted by: BUGSY61 (12/22/08)

Very Good	These are great. I followed the recipe except I baked them for 15 minutes then turned the oven off and let them sit for 2-3 minutes. Also, make sure you grease the pan well because they will stick. I can't wait for my friends to try them tonight. Thanks for sharing!	Submitted by: MFTAYLOR2 (4/10/09)

Incredible!	This is a great treat! I have made them a little different by sprinkling dry (flavored, sugar-free) gelatin powder on top of them before putting into the oven. Rasperberry gelatin has been favorite at our house -	Submitted by: ERICSONK (6/16/09)

Incredible!	First off omg this is the best recipe!! I could have ate them raw no need to cook. I personally used splenda since I had it at the house from the last recipe I did. It was similar to this but with a macadamia halve on top. But let me just say these are better by far no comparsion..yummmy!!! :)	Submitted by: LEARNINGTOLUVME (12/11/08)

Incredible!	These cookies were a hit at the holidays! I blinked and they were gone. I would recommend them to anyone. Also, when using a convection oven make sure to watch your cookies before the time in the recipe because mine were finished around the 15 minute mark instead of 18-20	Submitted by: DMB1987 (12/29/08)

	These cookies are great especially if you're watching those calories. I only used 1/3 C sugar and they were really good. They were really easy. I had another meringue cookie recipe that called for choco chips and chopped nuts but you bake them different. I think you could add those ingreds to this.	Submitted by: BLUBERRY (12/19/07)

Incredible!	These were wonderful! Easy to make... add the vanilla in while beating the eggs. I only needed to bake them for 17min in a convection oven. Will definitely make again (even hubby likes them!)	Submitted by: JENNIEB75 (12/19/07)

Incredible!	So easy to make & good. They look like little white snowballs, so pretty! Makes a great Christmas gift & a great holiday cookie for any holiday by adding some food coloring. I added vanilla while beating whites. Put mixing bowl and beaters in freezer for 15 mins & you'll get great meringue.	Submitted by: SMILEN (12/17/07)

Incredible!	These were SO easy... and Soooo yummy! I will have a meeting this morning and needed to bring some treat - and this was perfect - easy and quick and yummy and I was able to make it and still get in a workout before my meeting!!! Definitely a keeper! Next time I may add a bit of cocoa or something...	Submitted by: KARRILEE (12/8/08)

Incredible!	Awesome! For a chocolate fix, add 1 TBSP of cocoa powder (adds 1 calorie per cookie). Also, instead of regular coconut, I toasted it before adding to the mix. These are great. I agree about the cooking spray - get them off the tray quickly too.	Submitted by: KERI2000 (8/2/09)

Very Good	Really tasty!! Mine spread out quite a bit and I took them out of the oven after 14 min. because they were getting brown around the edges, but this was my first meringue attempt. I want to make them again now that I have a feel for the "soft" and "firm" peaks. Thanks for a great recipe!	Submitted by: LINZ0778 (12/13/07)

	I'm wondering where the nutrition information came from for these cookies. I came up with 70 calories per cookie when I calculated it. I used sweetened coconut. Is it supposed to be unsweetened?	Submitted by: LIVLUV17 (12/27/07)

Incredible!	Simple and tasty...just what I needed for a coconut fix. I folded in the vanilla with the coconut but probably could have added it earlier?	Submitted by: CPETERSON41 (7/18/07)

	This is a n excellant variation to a basic recipe that I have used without the coconut: 1) mint flavoring and mini chocolate chips 2) cocoa for a light chocolate treat 3) cocoa + instant espresso for a mocha cookie.	Submitted by: AMAKURU (7/5/09)

	I'm excited to make these. I'll be using Splenda half n half...Almond flavoring sounds good also. I have unsweetened coconut flakes on hand so will be using this instead of sweetened coconut. I'll let you know how it all turns out. I love the sound of this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing.	Submitted by: SUNNY071 (1/1/10)
