When People Magazine asked if I could make mummy cookies for them for Halloween, the first thing that came to mind was meringue! It’s easy to make, easy to use and so easy to bend to your whims.  With the help of Mary Dodd and a few candies for eyeballs, my simple meringue recipe became the most adorable mummies.

Wishing you all a sweet Halloween!
