This is one of my very favorite treats to make for the holidays and package up along with some fudge, pecan tarts, and pecan tasties, to give to the neighbors. This way my husband and I can have a few too.

DATE-NUT MERINGUES
From Sunset "Cookies" (1985). I personally cook meringues on parchment paper rather than the recommended greased cooking sheet. The dates make chewy meringue.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, using a hand beater, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, salt and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and beat until the sugar dissolves and stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently fold in the chopped nuts.
- Drop the batter onto silicone mats or parchment lined baking sheets (will need 2) with a teaspoon, spacing at least 2 inches apart. Bake until the meringues are dried through, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The cookies will remove easily from the parchment or silicone mat when ready.
- Cook's Note: Do not bake on humid days. Dye these any color to suit a seasonal event. For orange cookies, add 5 drops of food coloring.

Steps:
- Before making the meringue, whirl the almonds in a food processor fitted with the metal blade until finely ground. Add the cornstarch and whirl again. Make Meringue. Fold ground almond mixture into finished meringue by hand.
- Here, cornstarch insulates the meringue from the fat in the nuts, which would otherwise cause it to break down.

Steps:
- beat egg whites until stiff peaks form in a glass or aluminum bowl.
- fold in sugar and cocoa, mixing well.
- fold in nuts (if using them).
- using a spoon and a spatula place ~2 T lumps of the batter on an un-greased baking sheet. This is key--there must be no fat that touches the batter or else the meringues will collapse.
- bake at 200F for several hours (welcome suggestions on temp and time). I usually bake them for 2+ hours and then let them sit in the oven for several more hours until the insides are not gooey.

DATE AND NUT FINGERS
A fabulous meringue cookie from an old 1940's Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. These are so light and airy, yet with a touch of chewy texture from the dates and nuts. They are a rich combination of flavors while the only fat in them is from the nuts! They are a must during the holidays. Note, these are best made when it's not humid.

MERINGUE-NUT LAYER CAKES-DACQUOISE
Steps:
- Easier to make than conventional cakes, these are always immensely popular with guests. For 3 layers, 4 by 16 inches and 3/8 inch thick. Preheat oven to 250°F, and place racks in upper- and lower-third levels. Butter the surfaces of 2 baking sheets, dust with flour, and shake off excess, then mark on them three 4-by-16-inch rectangles. Pulverize 1 1/2 cups toasted almonds or hazelnuts (be sure they are fresh!) with 1 1/2 cups sugar and reserve. Beat 3/4 cup (5 to 6) egg whites with a big pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar to soft peaks (see page 100), and continue beating as you add 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract and sprinkle in 3 tablespoons sugar. Beat to stiff, shining peaks. (This is now a Swiss meringue, which you could also turn into individual baked meringues.). By big sprinkles, rapidly fold in the pulverized nuts and sugar. Using a pastry bag, fill the 3 rectangles on the baking sheets. Immediately set in the oven and bake about an hour, switching levels every 20 minutes. They should barely color, and are done when you can push them loose. If not used within a few hours, wrap airtight and store in the freezer
- Serving Suggestion: chocolate hazelnut dacquoise
- Trim and even the edges of the layers with a serrated knife, and paint tops of each with apricot glaze (see page 103). Layer with chocolate-ganache (page 102) or chocolate-meringue filling (page 102), bringing it up and around the cake. Brush chopped nuts around the sides of the cake, and strew a decorative layer of shaved or grated chocolate on top. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, to soften the meringue and set the filling, but bring back almost to room temperature before serving.
- to whip cream
- For about 2 cups of softly whipped cream-crème Chantilly. Pour 1 cup of chilled heavy cream into a metal bowl set over a larger bowl of ice and water. To incorporate as much air as possible, either sweep a large balloon whip down and around and up and into the bowl with rapid strokes, or circulate a hand-held electric mixer with vigorous movements. The cream will not begin to thicken for several minutes. It is done when the beater leaves light traces on the surface and the cream holds softly when lifted.
- imbibing syrup-flavoring and moistening for layer cakes
- Makes about 1 cup, enough for 3 cake layers. Stir 1/3 cup hot water into 1/4 cup sugar; when dissolved, stir in 1/2 cup cold water and 3 to 4 tablespoons white rum, orange liqueur, or cognac or 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract. Sprinkle over each cake layer before spreading on the filling.
- sugar boiling for syrups and caramel
- Proportions are always 1/3 cup water for every 1 cup of sugar.
- Simple Syrup. For imbibing cake layers, for instance. Stir over heat until sugar has completely dissolved.
- The Thread Stage. Used for butter creams and Italian meringue. When the sugar has dissolved completely, cover the pan tightly and boil over high heat-never stirring-until when you rapidly take up a little in a metal spoon the last drops to fall from its tip into a cup of cold water form threads.
- Caramel. Continue boiling until bubbles are thick, then uncover the pan, swirl it slowly by its handle, and boil until the syrup has darkened into caramel. Pour at once into a separate pan to stop the cooking.
- To Clean Pans and Spoons. Fill pan with water, add tools, and simmer a few minutes to melt the syrup.
