These were good little meringue cookies. I took toni's advice and used half splenda and half sugar. I made all lime and, while I liked them, I didn't think the lime flavor was prominant enough. I didn't think the kids would like them as they are usually all about chocolate meringues, but these were enjoyed.

I just loved these and felt my homemade cookies were superior to those made commercially. I did half the batch with lime and half orange using a bit more than a half teaspoon of zest for each half. I was really surprised at how much flavor the small amount of zest gave the the cookies. I replaced 1/2 the sugar with Splenda, incorporating the 1/3 cup sugar first. Splenda tends to deflate beaten egg whites a bit, so doing this means moving fast. (You'll notice in the picture that my lime cookies and not quite as pretty as the orange ones because they were piped last.) Nonetheless, they were delicious and guilt free. Thanks Rita.
