meringue mushrooms

There is just something whimsy and magical about meringue mushrooms. I made them for the first time years ago when partaking in a monthly recipe challenge for a yule log. There is just something special about them that doesn’t necessarily scream holiday season yet this delicately light cookie should make an appearance at any special event. The recipe is simple to make, just allow ample time for a slow bake in a 200º oven for 2+ hours. Serve on a delicate platter or wrapped in a cellophane bag as a party favor, they’ll surely put a smile on any face.
