Although the finished product turned out to be tasty, there should have been more detailed instructions, especially in the area of creating "stiff peaks" for the merengue. My 12-year old daughter chose this as a recipe to make for her Dad as a Christmas surprise because it has everything that he liked. It took us over 40 minutes to get the "Stiff peaks" to form and we did add the sugar "gradually". Plus, the recipes says it makes 60 cookies. We made 15. But, her Dad ate them with gusto and told her they were great, which is what really matters.
