Most of the time without the chocolate chips and nuts. Love them! God Jul!???????? Everyone loves them and they a easy and delicious! I think they have oatmeal and choco chips. Thank You, C Cox. Oddly enough, you can substitute the liquid from tinned garbanzo beans for the egg whites.

Keep everything else the same, comes out tasting the same with almost the same texture. Except no nuts. As Beth mentioned, used brown paper grocery bags on the baking sheets. Never used cream of tartar. I do use superfine sugar if I can find it and mini-chocolate chips. Best cookie in my arsenal!

I grew up with these in our house every Xmas as a kid.. My Nana passed the tradition of making them down to my mother, who passed it down to me. I have NOT made them in several years.. My family made these Meringue Cookies for our Christmas Eve open house. The kids loved them.

The trick is to ensure the whites are room temperature the bowl is clean and preferably metal copper is best and a drop of vinegar or cream of tartar will help the whites' reaction immensely. Good luck! I made these with finely crushed candy cane as per Homermc's direction. Probably only added about a quarter cup. Rating: 5 stars.

Just like grandma used to make them!!! Harriet A. I have used this recipe for years. Only use when it is not humid. Make sure bowl and beaters are grease free or egg whites do not beat up stiff. Make sure egg whites are at room temperature. I let them cook about 5 minutes before turning off oven Read More.

I screwed this one up good. Mine came out really really soupy as I wasn't sure what I was looking for when mixing till "stiff". I will try this one again but beat with a mixer until it thickens like it is supposed to as I read on another Web site the egg mixture should not slip and slide when tilting the bowl.

Also I will wait 20 mins to use eggs after taking eggs out of the fridge. What I had did taste good though which is why I will try it again.
