These did not turn out well at all. So disappointing! They were crunchy, crispy, flat, and way too sugary/gritty. Despite the seemingly-easy recipe, I will not be making these again.

Adapted ~~ were excellent & easy!! Use less salt ( 1/4 t ), 1 piece of matzo (crumbled) & 1/2 C chopped pecans. After beating egg whites, gradually add sugar n salt, beat till stiff. Fold in rest of ingred. Drop on lined cookie sheets. Bake @ 350 for 10 minutes, turn off oven and leave over night. Pretty n perfect. Enjoy !! Lisa NOLA

We loved these. I've never made meringues before so I wasn't sure what to expect. These were like sugary goodness with pops of chocolate, that kind of melted in your mouth. Whats not to like in that? After reading the reviews I was concerned with the baking process so I changed it a bit. I baked them for 25 minutes at 300 they came out lightly brown and crisp. I got about 24 meringues out of this recipe. Thanks for the recipe I will make these again.

These we very good and very easy to make. I also used butterscotch chips just for a little variety. After reading the other reviews, I baked these cookies for 15 minutes and THEN turned off the over and left them in overnight. They came out perfect.

After looking at the reviews, I made a few adjustments. I used a pinch of salt (about 1/8 t), 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 bag of the mini semi-sweet morsels. I cooked them in my over at 300 for about 20 minutes and then turned the oven off and left them there for about an hour. I also realized that when you make them in the summer they are mushier than if you make them in the winter.

The eggs and sugar whipped up beautifully. I was nervous to add liquid so I used vanilla sugar instead of the vanilla. I also used less chocolate chips - maybe 3/4 cup. But the problem with it was that they did not harden properly. I left them in the oven overnight and they were still soft in the morning. So I turned the oven on to 200 and left it in there for an hour. Then I lowered the temp in the oven to 185 and left them in for another 45 minutes. At that point, the texture was right - they had hardened into that melt-in-your-mouth consistency that they are supposed to have. I was hoping that the leaving it in the oven thing would work because it makes for a very simple recipe - leaving it overnight, oven off, what could be easier and safer? But unfortunately this did not work. I will just have to keep looking for a way to bake meringues. At least I was able to salvage them by baking them longer.

I love meringue - it has always been challenging for me, but this recipe was fool-proof for me. I have made them for 3 years now and each time I

This was very good and a great veriation on just regular cookies. They were very sweet and I used half the sugar I will use less sugar than that. I also just put a pinch of salt.

I made these and followed the recipe exactly. I left them in the oven overnight but they were so chewy you could not eat them. I removed them from the oven, turned the oven back on and repeated the process again for 2 hours. This did the trick and they were nice and crisp. Way too salty though. Next time I will either leave the salt out or use only a dash.
