I did some baking today. First I tried to make some LC meringues, so I separated an egg, poured into a bowl. Separated a 2nd egg and the yolk broke, so I decided to make a smaller batch of meringues and save the other egg and a half for something else.

So I whip up the egg white, cream of tarter, and some stevia for a while. It's getting fluffy, but the taste isnt' quite right. So I decided to add some cocoa powder to the mixture. I do so, and the whole thing falls flat. At this point, I decided to just make cookies, so I added the other egg and a half, some cinnamon, then some almond meal, and finally some coconut oil until it had a nice "cookie batter" consistency. I baked them at 350 until they smelled done.

They were "ok". Much of the coconut oil leaked out of the cookies during baking- most likely it melted before the dough started to really cook. I think I'll try baking these at 425 instead of 350 the next time I make them.
