A variation on the typical meringue recipe that I discovered by accident. A little chewier and maplier than usual.

I really liked these meringues. I did change the recipe some thus the four stars. I had to add 1/4 cup more confectioners' sugar and I used 1 tsp double strength vanilla instead of the maple flavoring. Then after I baked the meringues I let them sit in the oven over night like a "forgotten cookie". Read More

This was my first time making meringue cookies. Mine turned out hollow inside. I may have done something wrong. I didn't care all that much for the chewy texture but they tasted okay. Don't think I would make them again though. Read More
