Why: It was the perfect storm, I came across an interesting looking recipe, I had all the ingredients and Michael was traveling.
What: When these came out of the oven I determined that they were completely undesirable and a mistake. I figured that I have to at least taste them. One bite and I was sold. They're perfect, the meringue is sweet but the cookie portion has a nice salty balance. It's a little bit more work than a regular cookie bar because of the meringue but I usually have extra egg whites because I make so many custards so it's a great recipe for me. I took the first batch into work where everyone instantly declared the recipe a winner. I made a batch a few days later for my husband's work and they too had their lives changed by this cookie. I made their batch half chocolate chip half white chocolate macadamia but didn't receive any feedback on which was preferred - they gobbled it up all the same. It's a little complicated, ugly and messy to transport and eat but people sure do love it so it will always be a go-to recipe in my cookbook.
