These cookies are absolutely the best. I've made several batches to add to my Christmas Cookie gift boxes. I have one question, what is the best way to store these Meringue Candy Cane Cookies? ?? Thank you for sharing.
Quick and easy recipe! I decided to make these to use up egg whites leftover from another recipe that called for egg yolks only. They were a hit and very pretty on my cookie plate!
easy, fun, pretty, tasty, impressive.......what's not to love :)
Really want to try these
Excellent! They are truly airy and melt in your mouth! I made these into light green/blue cookies similar to Hersheys Kisses. They're baking right now, and they are absolutely delicious!I made these once before, but didn't beat long enough, so they turned into flat fragile candy-cane type cookies. And the part where you brush food coloring in the bag? Didn't quite understand that.Still a great recipe, but a little confusing to make.
I made these several years ago when the magazine came out. They are super cute and very festive. I need to make them again :) You don't need to have mad piping skills, just practice a bit and have fun!
These look fantastic! If only I had the piping skills necessary to create such a pretty treat. To ToH staff for the suggestion box: would you consider adding a difficulty level for the recipes in your database?
