Mmmmmmeringues

We're having our second annual 4th of July dessert party where we eat dessert and walk over to the open hillside by the park and watch the fireworks. I am trying a couple new things - these meringue cookies and a fresh fruit tart. I tried one recipe for the meringues from Betty Crocker's Cooky Book but they didn't turn out well (too chewy), so I tried this one from Joy of Cooking - and these came out great. Happy 4th!
