I made this recipe this past Christmas and it was awesome. The cookies taste and look great, the recipe was easy and my friends loved them too! There is an Italian gourmet store up the street from me and these are very expensive to buy there, like $13 for a small container. I made them at home for less than that and mine were fresh!

Incase this wasn't suggested, use unsweetened kool-aid to flavor the meringues. It cuts down on the sweetness and doesn't add any liquid to the recipe. Try raspberry flavor and add mini chocolate chips. I heard yesterday on Martha Stewart's show there is also powdered vanilla that can be used. And please, stop whining about it tasting too sweet, what did you expect egg whites and sugar to taste like?

I am not a huge pancake fan, but tried these for a quick dinner one night. I made just the pancakes and they were wonderful! Not the belly dragging heavy ones our mothers made but light and fluffy, like a cross between a pancake and a crepe. I did not follow the directions but blended the wet ingredients and then stirred in the baking soda and powder followed by the salt and flour. The batter was nice and foamy, not too thick or thin. The pancakes cooked up with no problems and were good enough that hubby and our 15 month old tasted them plain! I did add a pinch more sugar and vanilla but I like things sweet. We are making them again tomorrow morning!
