Chocolate Filled Peppermint Meringues
Today we have a light,
fluffy, and child fearing peppermint cookie. I
loved the cookies, all the parents liked the cookies, the kids, they all
hated them. No rhyme or reason, they just took
one little bight and then put them back. they taste like peppermint candy canes - all the kids eat them, but apparently not in cookie form... As for
the cookies, some were sandwiched in chocolate, and others were plain.
The plain ones were bight size and best taken in one bight. They disintegrated when you bit them, an explosion of
sweet and peppermint on the tongue, and not much else was left in the
mouth. The chocolate ones were even better. The ganache was a rich dark chocolate and complimented
the peppermint very well. IT added a depth of
flavor that was completely missing from the ones without the chocolate. A hint of bitterness and saltiness toned down the
peppermint and created a wonderful morsel of goodness.
I got the color in the
cookies by painting a few streaks down the side of the piping bag. The
only issue I had was getting the chocolate ganache to cooperate with me. I was a little impatient with the cooling process,
then forgot about it. So it took some massaging
to get it to leave the piping bag without taking the tip with it.

Welcome back! I missed your yumminess!
Meringues reminds me about my grandmother. She used to make that, though she called them girl's kisses. Never had meringues with peppermint before, sounds interesting.
