Date-Nut Meringues image

From Sunset "Cookies" (1985). I personally cook meringues on parchment paper rather than the recommended greased cooking sheet. The dates make chewy meringue.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these meringues turned out flat and chewy. I'm going to have to try this recipe again.

These meringues didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I think I overbeat the egg whites, because they were a bit tough.

I found that these meringues were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I love how these meringues are not too sweet. The date nut filling provides just the right amount of sweetness, and the meringue is perfectly balanced.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of dates, but I'm so glad I did! The date nut filling was surprisingly delicious, and the meringues were perfectly crisp.

These date nut meringues were a hit at my last dinner party! They were so light and fluffy, with a perfectly crisp exterior. The date nut filling was also delicious, and added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch.
