From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I love this ladylike cookie. I get weak-kneed anytime I find a recipe that combines chocolate and peppermint. This one goes one step further and folds the two into a meringue base that makes the cookie so light that it is completely irresistible. If that weren't enough, the meringue is then dipped in dark chocolate to finish and serve. While the cookie is near perfect, I have one caution to share with you. Meringues must be kept dry and stored in air-tight contains or they will begin to soften and quickly stale. If you can properly store these, they would make a wonderful addition to your Christmas cookie tray. Here is how the meringues are made.
