Such as hot and sticky weather might not be good for making the meringue topping. My husband loves lemon meringue pie, so I've made that one many time over the years. I've never had a problem with making the meringue, which leads me to believe that climate could have something to do with success with that type. Now, I did make a lime pie once, where the lime custard just never set-up, and I have no idea why. <br /><br />If you make the meringue cookies, I hope that you enjoy them as much as we do. And I hope that now that Kris and I have told you how easy they are that you find the same thing to be true.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-57010234700148335182019-04-30T14:23:46.176-07:002019-04-30T14:23:46.176-07:00Hi Kris,

They always fall by the time I get them to the table, but I've always thought that was just part of souffles. I'll have to try mini souffles sometime.<br />Thanks for the link to the site with the meringues. I'll check that out!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-10958151969250040712019-04-30T08:26:53.370-07:002019-04-30T08:26:53.370-07:00The meringue on pies (at least the ones I've h...The meringue on pies (at least the ones I've had) is lighter and fluffier than the cookies. They are a little crisp when you bite into them but they melt in your mouth. Several years ago, I used a recipe which also had an Easter lesson with it. Here's a link if anyone is curious. https://balancingmotherhood.com/easter-resurrection-meringue-cookies/Krisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-21617376144197825212019-04-29T16:26:38.738-07:002019-04-29T16:26:38.738-07:00I have never made meringue cookies because I assoc...I have never made meringue cookies because I associated them with meringue on pies which can be difficult. I guess I've never eaten many of them either because I'm not a big fan of meringue pies, but those coconut ones in the picture above look really good. After hearing all of the praises for meringue cookies, I may have to give them a try.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-34233195374814654092019-04-29T15:22:53.610-07:002019-04-29T15:22:53.610-07:00I thought it was meringue on top of pies that had ...I thought it was meringue on top of pies that had the reputation for being difficult. Meringue cookies are a breeze to make. I am glad your cookies brought back good memories for someone! I have taken them as a treat for my Sunday School class before and they don't last long! <br /><br />The other thing I have made that has a reputation for being difficult is mini souffles. I haven't tried a full-size one, so maybe that's the difference--or perhaps my recipe is an easy one to follow. They have always turned out well for me (and they look impressive, to boot!).

They're really very easy and time-saving, in that I don't have to keep putting in/taking out each baking sheet, as a whole batch fits on one large sheet. <br /><br />There was one man in our church who had a few and commented that he hadn't had these since he was a boy, growing up on a farm. His mother used to make them, as they were a way to use what they had, with minimal purchased ingredients. This was really nice to hear from him.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-87943019660989394232019-04-29T09:57:57.685-07:002019-04-29T09:57:57.685-07:00They turned out beautifully, Lili.
