Unbelievably delicious, easy and delightful. My guests adored them. I added some chocolate chips to half the batch. Wonderful! I took out of the oven 20 minutes earlier and had my heat turned down on the oven to 215 because my oven is hotter

I wanted to include these cookies in the teacher's cookie baskets. I tried to pipe them but the candy canes kept getting stuck in my star tip. So, I used a spoon to place a small dollop on the pan. The "blobs" did not look great and were so uneven. I added red food coloring and the cookies turned a shade of light brown once I cooked them:( The kids were not wild about this cookie. However, I did not give up on this recipe. I have made them again with the following changes: I used a mini chop to crush the candy canes into fine particles. This worked well with my star tip. I did not use any food coloring. I also added peppermint extract. The cookies now look uniform and very pretty.

** I changed the recipe pretty heavily** I had egg whites left over from making some creme brulee, and I didn't want to waste them, so I threw some of these together. Didn't have vinegar or cream of tartar so I just put in the lemon juice and they came out perfectly. I had seven egg whites, but I just tripled all other ingredients. Then, I split the meringue into thirds, put 1/4 tsp vanilla, almond extract, and orange extract in each different third. The orange batch was not delicious, fyi

These were very good. I used 1 tsp of vanilla flavoring instead of the peppermints. and I only baked them for 1 hour and 15 minutes instead of the 1 hour 30 minutes. Very Very good.

Although these are AWEFUL if you misread the recipe (like I did the 1st time around) and use 1/8 CUP of vinegar vs. 1/8 TEASPOON... When following the recipe, they turn out great! I added 3 drops of pink/red food coloring and 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint and it was just the right amount of minty and sweet. Can't wait to make a bunch for Valentine's Day!

I used powdered egg whites instead of fresh. I piped the cookies into pretty drops like the picture, but they melted in the oven to a drop cookie shape.

These cookies are really yummy! Light as a feather and especially good if you add a hint of almond flavoring and that creates a sweet fluffy cloud with notes of crunchiness(from the candy cane) and almond. If I were you, I would add a few more candy canes than the recipe calls for. This not only adds flavor, but some color as well. Please refrain from adding red food coloring as this will most likely turn the cookies brown. I tried that last night and needless to say, they were a bit flushed of color but still tasted wonderful. These cookies are absolutely to die for!
