Lemon Meringues

I've never made a meringue before. I've only eaten one or two. But did that stop me from trying a recipe that looked so easy and so low calorie? No, it did not! I saw the recipe on Jen's Favorite Cookies. The only thing I found to be a little confusing was that she didn't say how big you should make them - I'd compare it to a Hershey's Kiss or chocolate rosette. I also found mine started to lose the rosette look after a while... further investigation found the culprit: a lemon zest clog.

Admittedly, these did not photograph well... but hers looked great!

WARNING: the "dough" for these is incredibly sticky.

My rating: tasty and lemony, it was hard to stop after just a couple. I would only repeat this recipe if I was sharing it out with some friends. I ended up throwing quite a few away to prevent me from eating them.
