Do you love Meringue cookies?
Are you a fan of chocolate chips?
Then you will want to read on now…
Christmas time in my husband’s childhood house was always full of hustle and bustle. So for special celebrations and holiday time, this was especially true.
I still recall the first year I was dating my husband. See I was included in their family celebration. But I was not only welcomed in with open arms, but their home for the holidays was truly inviting. From the decorations, to the presents, to the holiday foods, it was just a wonderful, good old fashioned Christmas.
One of my mother-in-law’s specialities are called Meringue Teaser Cookies (my husband always just calls them Meringue Chip Cookies).
I had never seen or tasted anything quite like them. But flashback to that first Christmas with him. These meringue cookies were indeed present.
How can I begin to explain about meringue cookies?
See they are like white sugary crunchy cookies from heaven. They are for those who have a sweet tooth and love chocolate. I happen to be both and have I mentioned the chocolate?!

Simply put, these cookies are nothing short of amazing. I have now made them myself from her recipe for our home each holiday time. Why? Because my whole family just loves them. But then again, I just love to bake cookies during the holidays!
If you don’t believe me, please do try the recipe below. I dare you not to love these. One simple thing, you need either a hand mixer or a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Otherwise, these cookies are fairly straight forward and easy to make. The waiting is the worst part, but promise it is very much worth it!!

Jane Marsh says
I think I'm going to make these with the kinder as soon as they wake up…
JanineHuldie says
Awesome Jane and let me know what you think of them 🙂 🙂
Bill says
Never had them but they sound delicious! Maybe Bev and I will experiment this weekend. Have a great weekend Janine!
JanineHuldie says
Thanks Bill. Hope you and Bev do try and enjoy them, too. Happy Weekend to you both!!!
JanineHuldie says
Thanks Clark and know many like you but baking for me is so much fun and a true therapy of sorts. Just can't help, but love. But I do watch Food Network a lot as well 🙂
Christy Birmingham says
I like the sound of the recipe and even more than that it is so nice that you connect to the Sandy Hook memorial. Hugs xx
JanineHuldie says
Thanks so very much Christy for reading, commenting and sharing this one for me, too!!
Bonnie Way says
Oooh, those sound delicious! Plus they are wheat and dairy-free (depending on the chips you use) so they'd be perfect for some friends of mine with allergies… 🙂 Thanks for sharing! I'm dropping by from the Sparkle & Shine blog hop.
JanineHuldie says
Oh so happy to share this with you Bonnie Way. I hope you do try and let me know what you think. Thank you so very much for stopping by and commenting, too!!
Ruchira says
Sounds delish, Janine.
Will give it a try since the making does not requires a lot of sweating…lol
btw, I liked how you have linked your blog for the Sandy hook elementary. Will link it to spread awareness. Any time for a good cause!!
JanineHuldie says
Thanks Ruchira for sharing and passing this on for the cause. I do hope you try these, because they really are quite delicious and our second batch is now gone. I am going to probably have to make more tonight or tomorrow, because they are supposed to be for Christmas and can't seem to keep them from being eaten all up, lol 🙂
Cyndi says
These look wonderful and I'm sure they're going to be a big hit at your house! Your mother in law sounds wonderful and it sounds like love abounds. Merry Christmas!
JanineHuldie says
Thanks Cyndi and I am actually off to make another batch in a few minutes, because they are all gone again, lol!! As for my MIL, I truly lucked out in that department 🙂 🙂 Merry Christmas to you, too!!
Emily says
Sound delicious and love that they are for a good cause too! My mother-in-law is also a great cook and is well into her 80's and still makes it look easy. I have no idea how she does it. I become exhausted just watching her!
JanineHuldie says
I am with you on this Emily. I did the cooking and the hosting for a week with Hurricane Sandy and was shot afterwards. My MIL does this all the time and it is like no big deal and the more the merrier. Don't get me wrong I love her for it, but man I just don't get it, lol!!
JanineHuldie says
If you have a KitchenAid Mixer, then regular sugar will work. I ran out of the Superfine sugar with the second batch and tried my regular sugar to find this one out 🙂
Christina (Tina) Mor says
Those meringues look fabulous! I will definitely try these and I like the idea of switching the oven off and leaving them inside overnight. I love my rest and sleep! Merry Christmas!
JanineHuldie says
Thanks Christina. You will love these then, because once you do finish mixing and putting in the oven, the rest is done all on its own. No worries until after a good night's sleep 🙂 🙂
JanineHuldie says
Thanks Richard and sorry for that, but I figure if I am gaining some weight, then I ought to share it with my friends, too 🙂 🙂
JanineHuldie says
Oh thank you so much for saying that and maybe something to think of in the new year. Totally still have to finish my novel still, been such a slacker with the holiday season, lol!! Thanks seriously, you put a smile on my face this morning 🙂 🙂
Kristina & Millie says
Family first in all things 🙂 These are some yummy cookies, can't wait to make some! Thanks for linking to Snickerdoodle Sunday!!
My recent post Snickerdoodle Sunday #8
Janine Huldie says
Family always first and couldn't agree more! And seriously hope you try these and totally so happy to linkup with you both today!! 🙂
@HomeschoolWLove says
Yum! I'm looking for gluten-free Christmas cookie ideas and this one will work. Thanks.
Janine Huldie says
Totally my pleasure and hope you enjoy as much as we have!! 🙂
Joy @ Yesterfood says
Janine, these are wonderful! My Mother and Grandmother used to make them and called them “Forgotten Cookies”! I hadn’t thought about these in years- thank you! And thank you for sharing them with us at Treasure Box Tuesday- pinned! 🙂
Katherines Corner says
Extreme yumminess! Pinned. Since I can’t have soooooooooo many things, I will still make these for hubby and the grandchildren xox
Janine says
Aw, so happy you can make these and enjoy them, too Katie xoxo <3
Meredith Spidel says
What a fun twist! sounds delicious!
Janine says
Aw, thanks so much Meredith!!! <3
Dara says
I always imagined these would be hard to make but you make it sound easy!
Janine says
Dara, the mixer really makes this one easier than you could ever imagine. So, I thank god for the device as I can literally let the mixer mix this and do most of the hard work here for me 😉
Echo says
Oh my god, Janine! These look AMAZING! I can’t wait to make these.
Janine says
Thanks Echo and hope you can make these, too soon 😉
Tamara says
Ahh! It looks so awesome. I can almost taste them. And I love the story behind them. I’ve never had meringues with chocolate chips!
Janine says
Aw, thanks and I must admit meringues with chocolate chips are seriously awesome 😉
Aunt Gloria says
Yummy! Can’t wait to try them. xxoo
Janine says
Aw, I am making more for Christmas and you will definitely get to try this year xoxo 🙂
AnnMarie John says
I do love meringue cookies but I’ve never made them myself. I’ve usually just bought them in the store, but now I may have to use your recipe and give them a try.
Janine says
Hope you try my recipe and if you do let me know how you liked them, too 🙂
Bev says
Ooh, I love meringue cookies! I bet Eve would enjoy making these with me 🙂
Janine says
Aw, I hope you can make these with Eve this holiday season now, too 🙂
Nellie says
Meringue is definitely not easy to make, but once you do it’s totally worth it! I am stacking up on all of these amazing recipes!!
Janine says
Aw, thanks again Nellie and I know took me a few times, but have totally perfected meringue cookie baking here 😉
Christine Carter says
These do look delicious! I love the history behind them too, Janine! I think I could actually pull off this recipe! So interesting to leave them in the oven for so long- with it turned off. I’m so not a baker, so this is just really cool to me!
Janine says
Thanks Chris and I literally just finished making yet another batch of these as my family can never seem to get enough of these during the holiday time 🙂
Leslie says
Yum! I love meringue, so these look fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!
Janine says
Aw, thank you Leslie and always happy to share with you, too 😉
