I just "rediscovered" my cache of recipes from Peter Neuman. A few are regular staples in my house. Peter Neuman is a legend on the Somersize boards. He was 17 and in culinary school when he lost over 135 pounds. I am going to share these with you as I know you will enjoy them. He even makes pork rinds palateable!

FLUFFY EGG WHITE MERINGUE COOKIES

Light tasty treat with a cookie crunch, many variations. Yum
Yield: About 16-18, depending on size.
4 large egg whites
1/4teaspoon cream of tarter
1/2 cup plus one tablespoon of Splenda or 1 tablespoon sweetbalance
1 1/4 teaspoons flavoring extract (use any extract you like, they all make great cookies)
4 drops of food coloring (optional)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Directions:
Separate egg whites from egg yolks. Let egg whites stand at room temperature for about 2 hours, until eggs are room temperature. Beat egg whites with an electric beater on high speed until soft peaks form. Slowly pour in the cream of tartar, sweetener, food coloring, and extract into the egg whites while beating the egg whites and beat the egg whites until stiff and somewhat shiny. Drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheet covered in wax or parchment paper, creating peaks on each cookie for a nice design. Place in oven for about 25 minutes, until golden brown. Take out of oven and cool on countertop or wire rack. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or on the countertop.
*** Do not overcook or they will stick to the wax/parchment paper. Also, you may have to use a spatula to loosen the cookies. ***
