nice basic recipe... but I agree, cut down on the sugar, these are a too sweet. Next time I'd cut the sugar in half!

I love this recipe. I use regular suger run through the blender instead of the confectioners stuff and have had perfect results. To reduce/eliminate cracking, I keep my meringues small. I made some in extra-flat shapes and made peanut-butter sandwiches with them, now my co-workers won't leave me alone during the holidays!

This was the best meringue cookie recipe I've found! I used to use the one in a cook book, but they never turned out- these were great! The only thing I would say would be is that they turned out better when places on a dark colored pan and placed on the top rack.

We tried these for the first time a couple weeks ago and they turned out great. Since then we've made a lot of variations and so far, they've all been good. We added peppermint extract, mini chocolate chips and just a couple drops of green food color and made mint chocolate chips. Raspberry chocolate chip was good, too. Cinnamon, Fresh orange, Lemon poppy--they were all good. Thanks, Randy.

very good, but such a hassle to make! i had to beat the egg whites for over half an hour until i got stiff peaks and the cookies took 2 and a half hours to bake. but when they came out, they were delicious. i got a few complaints though, that they were too plain. next time i'll fold in some chocolate chips. i'll make again if i ever have a few hours to spare.

I tried this recipe, but they didn't turn out like I'd hoped. I don't know if I didn't cook them long enough or not mix them long enough, but after the 3 hrs of baking time, I had meringues that were firm on the bottom, but marshmallowy on the top. Any suggestions? I do want to try them again.

Very easy to make. I only used 1 3/4 cups of sugar, added unsweetened cocoa while beating in the sugar, and I folded in about 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips before dropping onto the cookie sheets (i don't have a pastry bag :-) Too bad these take so long to bake because I COULD eat them every day :-) Thank you for this recipe Randy.

Easy to make and tasty. I added food coloring for Christmas. I also dipped one side in chocolate. People loved them.

I was shocked that I was able to make something close to as great as what they sell in Paris...Although I did have trouble keeping my oven at a low enough temp...I agree less sugar was needed...and I used a large zip lock bag with the tip cut out instead of a pastery bag.

Couldn't be any easier or simpler. These are a favorite around my house since my kids can't eat any artificial colorings or flavors.

I used this recipe and feel that there is WAY too much sugar in it. If one breaks it down, per 1 egg white is over 1/2 cup of sugar!! I would reduce it by at least half. I recommend that once the egg whites "peak", add a spoonful at a time and keep tasting it. That way you won't over sugar it.

I served French Meringues at an afternoon tea...easy to make and visually elegant. Even though I didn't have a pastry tube...I made them free-hand with a spoon...they were still beautiful! Make sure you whip them for at least 15 minutes to get the desired consistency.

I had left over egg whites from making crepes and I decided to make meringues with what was left. This recipe was easy (tiring 'cause I had to hand whip it) but lovely and light, with that satisfying crunch. Definately an elegant light cookie. I believe it would be a great recipe to use as a base for different flavours. The only drawback was the length of time for cooking.
