HA Meringue Cookie recipe, do you have?

[hal lover]

OK, I'm no great baker... but does anyone have the recipe that HA uses for their meringue cookies? I googled for a recipe and tried it and they are ok... but not like HA.

Thanks!

I'm not sure how much like HAL's recipe this is but I think it might be similar.

 

Chocolate Meringue Cookies

 

3 egg whites

l small pkg chocolate bits

3/4 c. sugar

1/3 c. crumbled saltine crackers

1/2 tsp. vanilla

 

Melt chocolate bits and cool.

Beat egg whites stiff. Add sugar gradually and beat until

stiff and glossy.

Fold in crackers, chocolate and vanilla.

Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 350* for 15 minutes.

Thanks Sails! Sounds like a good recipe but saltines? Interesting... I will try it!

[Krazy Kruizers]

I have never heard of saltines in a merinque cookie.

Interesting.

I think the first time we had meringues was on our TA on the Nieuw Amsterdam. A few months later, we were on the same ship, but in the Caribbean; no meringues! DH asked for them and the next day they suddenly appeared! I think we also had them on the Ryndam, but not the Prisendam; I don't remember any with chocolate chips, which would be particularly yummy:D.

Thanks for posting this recipe.

Do you know what weight the packet of chocolate bits would be?

Have you tried those, Judy? Wondering how they are...saltines with the other ingredients for cookies seems an odd combination so am curious if you liked them.

I would guess a small package of chips would be 6 oz. My daughter has made these with the chips, but no saltines. Sounds interesting.

Yes, use a 6 ounce package.

The chocolate chips are melted so you will have a chocolate meringue.... you won't have whole chips.

Yesterday I made some meringue cookies. They tasted much like those on HA but no where as large. I'm thinking for Valentine's Day to make some of these with a dash of red food coloring and shaping them into hearts. Other than a bit of sugar (3/4 cup) they are not heavy laden with all the not so good stuff. I will be trying the chocolate chip variety and hoping that the chips would not melt completely.

Freeze the chips first and they will not melt! :p

The chocolate chips in this recipe are MEANT to be melted.

The directions clearly say that.

 

If that is not what you want, this is not the recipe to make.

Look for another. :)

LOL. This reminds me of so many recipe reviews I read online- "Didn't have chicken so used beef, didn't have rosemary so used dill, didn't have wine so used chicken stock,....... Don't ever make this chicken recipe, it is awful." Anyone who reads recipe reviews knows what I mean. :D

:D Exactly.

 

 

I agree chocolate chips, whole and unmelted, might be tasty in a meringue cookie but it would then be a different cookie. The chocolate chips are to be melted in this recipe. :) The melted chocolate totally influences the taste, texture and appearance.

 

[hal lover]

The chocolate chips would surely melt.:( Not so sure that I want chocolate meringue cookies!

Just some red or pink hearts:D

oh D & D you both are sooo funny! you both know that I am " a work in progress"!;)
