These cookies were ok, but not terribly exciting. They got very soft and spongy after being stored in the refigerator, but they still tasted fine. I have another meringue cookie recipe that bakes for 25 minutes at 300º. I think I'll try it that way next time because they got too brown on the outside before getting done on the inside. I might also try flattening them slightly to get the inside done better.
