a mint sandwich
with chocolate innards
how could a 2 oz cookie
have any calories?
overall rating: 3.64
ease to make: 3.7
clean up: 4 (only if you do your dishes immediately afterwards!)
a cookie i could eat! what a concept. i must say, i really really miss cookies with flour. no flour and they're just not the same. like these were good, but i could leave them sitting on the table looking pretty (and i like mint). the real reason i made these for the Christmas plates were because they were pretty and i needed some color. by the way, i don't think i ever blogged how beautiful my Christmas trays were:
anyway, back to the cookie.
i've never really made meringue before but this stuff was beautiful! and i even broke down and bought one of these $5 kits with plastic ends in them for this cookie. it's worth it! yes, you get meringue all over the kitchen, and if yo'ure like me food coloring, and yes, they do bake for 1:45:00 (yes! and hr and 45 min!!), which is a total time suck, but make these and people think you're a total cookie goddess just looking at them. the chocolate filling is rather a time suck as well and when martha says that once the meringue is in the oven you need to start the filling, she's of course, right. it's like you make this stuff, and let it heat up real slow like, then let it cool, thickening up...... yeah... about that thickening up stuff. sorry folks that ate these. mine didn't thicken, i was in a hurry, you got skimped on the filling.
sorry!
would i make these again?
yes, only for their looks.
