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

These meringues are a bit too time-consuming to make for a weeknight dessert, but they're definitely worth the effort for a special occasion.

These meringues are a great way to use up egg whites. They're also very versatile. You can flavor them with anything you like, or serve them with different toppings.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my meringues didn't turn out as light and airy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These meringues are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.
