Previously, I posted one of my mom’s favorite cookie recipes, Cocoa Meringues (see Yummy Cookies) and Natty13 wrote and asked for a recipe for peanut butter meringues. I found one for you, Natty.

I’ve also included one for Mint Chocolate Chip Meringues that my family and friends also enjoy. Meringues are fun and easy to make and they’re light, delicious, and low-calorie. Hope you enjoy these recipes.

 Mint Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies

• 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 
• 1 cup superfine granulated sugar or granulated sugar processed for a couple minutes in a food processor
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract 
• 1/2 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips

Chill mixing bowl and beaters for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 250 F. Line cookie sheets with wax paper, parchment paper or silicone mats. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar on high speed until soft peaks form. Add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until meringue forms stiff peaks. Gently fold in peppermint extract and miniature chocolate chips. Drop by the teaspoonfuls (or use a pastry bag or large baggie with bottom corner cut) onto prepared cookie sheets about 1 inch apart. Bake 1 hour.

Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies

(For Natty13. I haven’t tried this recipe, as my daughter is allergic to peanuts. Let me know if you try it so I can let other peanut butter fans know.)

• 2/3 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 2 egg whites, room temperature
• Salted peanuts, chopped

Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a mixing bowl, gradually add sifted confectioners' sugar to peanut butter, mixing well. Fold in beaten egg whites. Cover cookie sheets with brown paper, parchment paper, or silicone mats. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls onto paper. Sprinkle each cookie with a chopped peanuts. Bake for 10 minutes at 375°; cool in pan then remove from paper. Recipe by Diana Rattray from About.com Guide to Southern Cooking.

	Has anyone actually tried making the Peanut Butter version? Folding fluffy, beaten egg whites into peanut butter that's been stiffened by adding all that sugar? It didn't sound possible... and it wasn't. What a mess. I ended up making it again by beating the egg whites with the sugar (like you normally would) and then folding the peanut butter in. This turned out... interesting. They were sort of like soft peanut butter cookies, even though there was no flour. Hmm... this could be great for a friend of mine who has to stay away from glutens.

	buy WoW Gold Once you have some runescape gold to start off with you can start a business. Basically,runescape money you will buy materials in bulk at cheap prices. Then, you will resell them at higher prices. To get the best prices for bulk buying, go to less populated worlds. When you are selling, go to runescape accounts world 1. Over there, the prices are always extremely high because of the scarcity of items and the amount of players that connect to that server. Eventually, as you work your way up,runescape accounts you'll need to make some constant business contacts. It takes time and effort to find a new buyer and a new seller each time you need cash. With pre-established customer and vendor relationships, you can easily generate gold in the minimum amount runescape gold of time. Guest
