  1. Jeff, a few tips… the mixing bowl, beater, utensils must be free of any oil residue. The flavoring must be alcohol/water based. Any oil keeps the eggs from whipping into meringue. A cold bowl to whip the eggs can also help. Good luck!

  2. Peppermint Meringue Cookies isnt working. Can it be fixed? I would like to surprise my wife with them.

  3. When I clicked on the Rudolph cookies, it did not take me to the recipe. I got a oops! can’t seem to find the page you are looking for.

  4. Looking for the recipe for Butter Pecan cookies. All that comes up is the recipe and directions for the poinsettia cookies.
    I’d appreciate your help.

  5. I’m looking for the link to the butter pecan cookie recipe. My computer keeps pulling up the poinsetta cookie link. Help!
