Snow-Puffed Meringues image

My family and friends like a nice pick-me-up dessert after a big holiday meal. These feather-light morsels fit the bill perfectly. To make six dozen cookies, or to make them easier to ship, skip the Nutella and dust with cocoa instead. -Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

I would not recommend these meringues. They were difficult to make, and they didn't turn out well. They were too soft and chewy, and they didn't have a lot of flavor.

These meringues were okay, but I've had better. They were a bit too dry for my taste, and they didn't have a lot of flavor.

I was so excited to try these meringues, but they turned out to be a bit of a disappointment. They were too sweet for my taste, and they were a bit too dense.

These meringues were a bit more challenging to make than I expected, but they were worth the effort. They were so delicate and delicious, and they were perfect for a special occasion.

I've made meringues many times before, but these were by far the best. They were so light and fluffy, and they had the perfect amount of sweetness. I used them to make a lemon meringue pie, and it was a huge hit with my family and friends.

These meringues were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly! I used a piping bag to create different shapes and sizes, and they all came out beautifully. They were light and airy, and they melted in my mouth. I will definitely be making these
