Meringue Cookies
"Tasty, light cookies that you can whip up for a baby shower (add a drop of red or a drop of blue) or just for fun! If you don't like almonds, let out the almonds and use the vanilla extract. This recipe is from the Best of Bridge ladies, straight from Alberta. Enjoy!"

Piped into a clover and hard to see in my picture, but I tinted them green. I had my almonds all toasted up then had the notion that they would be harder to shape, so I omitted them, but still tasted almondy good from the extract. Easy to make and oh so magically delicious. Made with elfin grandbabe.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
