Any oldie, but goodie and so irresistible. Never can I just eat one. Okay, I'll be honest...more like ten in one sitting. Great for a Christmas cookie exchange, too. We'll all go on diets after Christmas, right?

    Great cookie if you like meringue. Made several batches but must admit that I forgot to turn off the oven one time....not good! This one is a keeper...so easy and dee-licious.

    My aunt used to make these also. While she was mixing up the batter, she preheated her oven to 400 degrees. Then she put them on cookie sheets, stuck them in the oven, and turned the oven off. She also left them in the oven overnight. A tablespoon of apricot brandy can also be added to the batter.

    These were pretty good, I love the nuts in them (I used walnuts). I halved the recipe because I couldn't figure out a way to get three dozen anything in my little oven. They weren't quite dry after about 9 hours, so I heated up the oven to about 200*, stuck them in and left them overnight (I'd started them in the morning). They were much better after that. I've been keeping them in the freezer, which has completely hardened them up. I think next time I'll try them without the chocolate, with just the nuts, I bet they'd be wonderful that way.
