Meringue cookies
Description
Delicious baked treats for the whole family. My husband even called these cookies little cakes. The plate empties very quickly, and sometimes I have to stop myself from eating them all. Only the thought of the not-so-distant summer and beach season kept me from endlessly devouring them :) Serve with tea or coffee.
