almond lemon meringue cookies
The August Break
Recipe from Joy the Baker! She describes them perfectly... they are light and crisp and will crumble into million little pieces when you bite into them, BUT it is worth the mess. The almonds add such a nice crunch and texture, you shouldn't skip it! (Note: I thought I could hand slice 1/3 cup of almonds, but I was wrong, so wrong. Don't attempt at the risk of possibly slicing your fingers as you try to stabilize almonds on a cutting board...gah.)
Now that I've made those (using only two egg whites!), I feel a bit more confident about trying out a pavlova next time. I'll have to wait until we get some fresh fruits though...
