13 Reviews of Mint Meringues

I've never made meringues before and these were quite easy to make! I love mint--but made them using vanilla extract as that's what everyone wanted! I tinted them pink for Easter. They were delicious. I used the ziplock bag to pipe them onto the baking sheets which I lined with parchment. A great recipe that I will make again. I used a Kithen Aid electric mixer--which made things very easy.

Vikki, I tried your recipe out last night. I didn't use the green food coloring or the sprinkles, but I added 1 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. Wow!!! These are great, especially if you like chocolate mint. Thank you. Summertime Sally

Nice little treats. I don't have a pastry bag and used a ziploc bag with the corner cut out, so I'm sure mine didn't come out as pretty as they could have, but we enjoyed them all the same. Thanks for posting the recipe!

How unique! These were fun. Mine ended up a little flatter (I think I could have beat them more). But they were little, crunchy & minty. A friend said "breath mints!" Neat. I liked them & I think I will take one of the other suggestions and try different flavors. I don't know if they can beat the mint though. There is something about it...

These were downright incredible! This was my first attempt at making meringue and I was delighted to have such perfect results my very first try! I found they were also just as good using vanilla extract instead of the mint. Thank you so much for sharing such an awesome recipe!

I made these while I was gestational diabetic and dying for sweets. I used all alternate sugars (Splenda and Stevia Plus) and it was NOT good! I would not recommend doing this, as it gave the meringues a very bitter flavor and after taste. I'm betting if you stick to the original recipe these will taste much better!

So, I didn't have any mint extract so I substituted with peppermint, which I would not recommend. Also, make sure you beat the eggs long enough, I didn't and they turned out really flat. Despite all my mistakes they still got eaten up, I can only imagine how quickly they would have gone if I had completed this recipe with success.

My daughter loved the green cookies. They had a slightly different texture then most of the meringues I cook (much crispier) but had a nice texture. Cooking at 200 degrees for 2 hours was tough for me, though. As I rarely have that big a window to bake in.

Very easy with elegant results. I always make special treats on holiday's and my children had never had meringues before — they loved them. They kept asking if we were having company.
