  Great recipe! Very clear directions. I tried it with Splenda blend and it came out great! This recipe has lots of possible variations. I tried it with coconut extract and some unsweetened coconut. I can see this cookie being a big hit for dessert day at work, where everyone is always on a diet. - 2/11/09

  I love meringues! I usually make mine plain or with a bit of crushed candy cane though. I also like to pipe them in the shape of "kisses" with a pastry bag and sprinkle with colored sugar. - 12/19/09

  I love these cookies. They are easy and definitely help you stay away from fats. I use 1/8 t cream of tartar and 1/8 t of salt. I'll be making these forever! - 1/8/09

  These are the biggest hit of all my holiday cookies - and one of the EASIEST meringue recipes out there! I substituted a little bit of beet juice instead of food coloring. Made a nice light pink cookie. - 12/15/07

  First time I made meringue cookies, and I am hooked! I didn't use the peppermint extract though. They are light, sweet, and definitely help me with my chocolate/sweet fix of the day! Thanks! - 12/20/08

  In my family, we've always called these "Nighty-Night Cookies." On Christmas cookie baking day, we made lots of different kinds of cookies and this was the type we did. Put them together, throw them in the oven and say "Nighty-Night, Cookies." They are really very yummy. I leave out the nuts. - 12/3/08

  Super for all of us. I have made them for years. Can also add cereal (special K, Corn flakes) with pecans for another yummy healthy treat. We call them "Forgotten Cookies". - 11/28/09

  Wow! I did them with mini chocolate chips and mint extract and they were delicious! I have waited so long to try to make meringue because I was scared I would screw up...I did not! It was so easy! Thank you so much! I will prepare those for every occasion! :) - 2/12/09

  these are great with some cinnamon hearts sprinkled in; we call them Christmas Meringues and absolutely love the cinnamon-y flavor; or you can use crushed peppermint candy too. - 12/4/08

  This is one of my favorites - I've been making these "Forgotten Cookies" for about 15 years. Like so many have said, there are endless varieties. However, I reduced the sugar to 1/3 c. and they taste just as good! - 12/26/09

  ooppps! I think I misunderstood the directions. My egg whites were nice and stiff, I added the sugar gradually as I continued to beat the mixture. It fell flat. I now have thin drippy pancake like cookies on cookie sheets in my oven. The foil stuck to them! Starting 2nd batch, do I oil pans? - 12/24/09

  We've made these for years & sometimes added sifted coco powder with the sugar to make Chocolate Forgotten Cookies. Use vanilla or chocolate extract and add mini choc. chips & pecans. They're wonderful all the time except on humid days. They take longer to dry & must be kept in airtight container - 12/17/09

  These sound like a nice treat. I'm not much of a baker, but i am looking for a low cal snack (and i think this would help the sweet tooth!!) - 12/3/08

  This is so cool. I've also made these since I was a kid and they've become a family, neighborhood, work, exchange, etc. favorite. The best part for me is making them right before I go to bed and they're ready to pull out and store away in the morning.
  Love and Blessings to all this Christmas! - 12/3/08

  I'm going to forego the chocolate chips and use peppermint chips instead as I don't have the chocolate chips (can't have the temptation in the house!) or the flavorings. But can't wait to try them! - 12/3/08
