These cookies were wonderful and so easy to make. Everyone raved about them, I had to make four batches. Two with candy canes and two with coconut. I left out the nuts in both and lightly sprinkled some colored sugar on top too. I had to give the recipe to about six people. Even DH loved these and he's not a dessert person at all.

    These were fun to make and are wonderfully light. I had to make two batches because my kids each picked out different candy canes to make them. On the first batch I didn't beat the egg whites long enough before adding the sugar, the second time I beat them stiffer and it turned out great. These are very appealing to look at, a friend that stopped by saw these while they were cooling and immediately asked me for the recipe.

    These cookies were really light and tasty. I didn't have any dark brown paper so I cooked them on wax paper. They came out fine. I think next time I make them I will leave out the chocolate chips. Just a personal opinion.

    I thought these were a delightful addition to cookies I give out at Christmas. I used the blender to crush the candy canes. Next time I would either leave out the chocolate chips or use mini chips. Nice and pink as they are I may make them again for Valentines Day.
