Meringues
"Another family Christmas classic. I typically flavor half the meringues almond and use red food coloring, with the other half flavored mint and colored green. The parchment paper works like nothing else to get the meringues off the sheet without destroying them. Yield is my best guess. As with my shortbreads, these will keep in a cool place (Minnesota garage in December) throughout the Christmas season."
