Super easy to make! My kids (12 year old and 9 years old) Made them all by themselves with my supervision, but they did not need any help. The meringues turned out amazing, thank you so much for creating this awesome recipe.

I have made this recipe twice and it has been amazing both times. I love the hack included in the recipe to tell if the sugar is fullly dissolved. Great recipe!

In reply to Cindy Hunziker. Hi Cindy! I have not personally tried a sugar substitute, but others have reported using the same amount with success. Let me know how it goes if you try it. :)

If I make these with artificial sweetener how much sweetener should I use? Your help is greatly appreciated. I love merangue cookies and have used this recipe many many times.

In reply to koala. I'm so sorry to hear this is happening! Is it possible the sugars were added too quickly? If it's slightly gritty I would probably just bake it anyway. I hope you love them! :)

What if I have beat it all the way but the sugar is still not dissolved? I don’t want to overbeat it.

I have made these 5 times now, and everybody loves it! they are so light, crisp, and full of yummy flavor! I usually make mine about an inch or more in width, and they always turn out perfect! I also love how many cookies this recipe makes! In my last batch, I somehow made 121 cookies! It was amazing! Thank you so very much for these delicious treats!

In reply to Michael Strachwsky. Unfortunately we don't have experience with that kind of oven, so we can't say for sure :(

What do you recommend for a commercial convection oven as far as temperature and time?

I’ve tried this recipe twice already. The first time I obviously followed the recipe to a T and they ended up amazing, I didn’t have a piping bag so I just used a spoon and made them a bit bigger than you’d expect. They were still good just a bit chewy (which wasn’t a problem for me)

The second time I had some eggs that I had accidentally left out over night and wasn’t that sure they were still good to consume so I whipped up the recipe quick, only really looking at the ingredient measurements and doing the rest based off memory. I made them smaller this time and added food coloring and cinnamon. I figured if they went wrong it wouldn’t matter all that much. They came out good regardless of me heating the oven to 275 instead of 225. My mom tried them and said they tasted like lucky charm marshmallows.

I’m planning on making them a third time for Mothers day as meringue cookies are one of my moms favourites. This time I got a piping bag so it will be a bit more professional.

In reply to Lisa. Hi Lisa! I haven't personally made them that large. I'm not exactly sure how much longer they would need to bake. It may take some experimenting to get it just right.

In reply to Mike. Hi Mike! Are you trying to toast them? What kind of look are you aiming for? I think they would end up burned or too dark if torched. :(

In reply to Nancy. Hi Nancy! I haven't tried hazelnuts. I would make sure they are finely ground and I would use a small amount, like 1/4 cup. Nuts have oils in them and it can cause issues with the meringue setting up properly. I think I would make the meringues then dip them in chocolate and then into some finely ground hazelnuts. I hope that helps. If you try these I'd love to know how they turn out. :)

In reply to Sissy. Hi Sissy! I have not personally tried it with stevia, but I think it could work. :)

can I use Stevia instead of sugar?

I have memories of my grandmother making some type of nut meringue cookie. Your recipe sparked those memories. That would have been 65 to 70 years ago, seriously..do you feel it is possible to fold in ground hazelnuts to your recipe and have ruining it? Thank you for the outstanding recipes.

Can I torch the meringue cookies before baking to make them look better?

If I make them 2inches how should I adjust the cooking time?
