Helen McMahon for Expert Village. Our meringue is ready now and we have our foil covered
cooking sheet. Now we’re going to take a spoonful at a time and just drop it right
on to the corner of the pan. These can go very close together. You don’t have to worry
about them spreading because they don’t change shape at this point when they go in
the oven. So they can be put together quiet quickly and you want to be sure that they
go on pretty fast. You can make them a little larger if you’ll like. If you can make a
nice little kiss at the top or little point that it comes to, that looks very attractive
when it comes out of the oven. Just continue that until you have a whole tray ready to
go into the oven. They can be nice and close. Sometimes you can get a little swirl on the
top that looks very pretty. These are festive cookies especially for the holidays and they
will stay this color. They don’t brown. They just stay the color of white so it looks
quite nice in contrast with other cookies that you may have on the tray.
