Chocolate Meringue Christmas Cookies/Carrie Sheridan image

THESE are incredibly special -- Target makes tubs of meringue cookies and so does Whole Foods...but neither can hold a candle to this recipe with ground almonds, adding a macaroon element...and it's not too sweet. somehow, the bottom stays chewy and a crest rises that is crunchy over a hollow middle it's a little tricky to get the consistency right - but if you don't, you just have the MOST DELICIOUS chocolate bark to scrape off the cookie sheets -- You Can't Lose!
