better the way I submitted it

It\'s too bad they don\'t mention the original date of this recipe since I sent in a nearly identical recipe to this one for a martha stewart cookie contest many months ago. It\'s good with plain chocolate chips, but we make it with mint chocolate chips and a little green food coloring at Christmastime. Rather than baking the cookies, you can preheat the oven to 325, put the cookies in and turn off the oven to let them bake overnight. Putting them on tin foil makes them less likely to stick to the pan.

My mother always made them on Christmas Eve and occasionally, she still does. The recipe we used used chocolate chips and walnuts. Excellent.

I have made these with Hershey\'s Kisses and used just a bit of mint extract in the meringue....

We also just let them sit in the oven overnight...

And add walnuts to some of them. We call them nighty-nights...

Meringue is a tempermental thing, make sure that you haven\\'t over beaten it, some prefer crispy and some prefer soft. If your cookies ar crispy critters this comes from the amount of sugar you use and also oven temp. Also keep in mind, that humidty plays a part with these cookies when humidity is up you\\'ll get a "chewy" instead of crispy cookie.

Made them before

I made this about 2 months ago. Are they supposed to come out flaky and crispy? What did I do wrong?
