LOOKING for: Meringue type cookies...

I have a lot of egg whites to use up. I want to make some meringue type cookies and some coconut macaroons. Does anybody have some tried and true recipes for me?

    Preheat oven to 250° (NOT 350°). Lightly grease 2 or more baking sheets. Usin a mixer, beat the whites in a medium bowl until foamy. Add the salt & cream of tartar & continue beating until soft peaks form. Add the sugar, 1 TBL at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the meringue is stiff. Fold in the vanilla, chocolate chips, nuts & candy.
    Drop by teaspoonfuls, 1/2" apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake 40 minutes. Remove to cake racks to cool.~~

    roselin32,

    I haven't had much luck w/the meringue cookies completely drying. The recipes I've tested, haven't given me the results I had been aiming for.

    With that, my question is: Does your recipe allow the meringue cookies dry completely to the center?

    Mine always have but I am careful not to make them on a humid day.

    Thanks, everyone. I will let you know which one I can try. I would love to make Ginger's, but i can't get candy canes over here.
