Excellent recipe. Definitely use an electric beater. I paid this recipe with gnocchi so I can use the egg yolks leftover from the whites.
Did not work trued it three times very disappointing
So easy to make but takes quite a while to bake/cool. My daughter eats GF so these were perfect for her to have cookies. I'll add these into my Christmas cookie list for next year.
So far so good! Except I didn’t have another pan to pipe out the rest of my batter, will it still be okay if I remix it in 1h40 min so I can put the rest in the oven when my first batch is done? Or am I screwed? This is a first for me! I’m using them to decorate a birthday cake
It only takes a second to touch test..than close oven and let cool. It's not rocket science. I don't have a pastry bag so I put Tablespoon mounds and swirl a little at the top on the parchment paper
For those who are asking how to determine if they are firm to the touch because the recipe says to keep the door closed...you are reading the recipe wrong! My 10 year old makes these almost weekly. They always turn out PERFECT! We cook them for 43 minutes then see if they are firm. Then you turn off the oven and let York cool down in the oven for one hour with yer oven door closed during that cooling time.
How do you know if they are FIRM TO TOUCH if you can't open the over door!!
Simply wonderful
excellent, easy recipe..came out great!! i did sub into half the egg whites some natural no carb sweetener (swerve) so I could have some on my keto diet, too!
i love them!!!! Really amazing treats!! But if you don't like to surgery and sweet stuff this might not be the recipe for you. I defiantly suggest never have this before bed, but that might just be me.??
