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 a big fan of meringue cookies, but I really enjoyed these. The dates and nuts added a nice sweetness and crunch.

I've tried several date nut meringue recipes and this one is by far the best. The meringue is light and fluffy, and the dates and nuts add a nice chewy texture. I highly recommend this recipe.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover dates. They're also a great make-ahead cookie. I often make a batch on the weekend and then freeze them for later.
