Traditional meringue cookies are usually made from little more than egg whites and sugar. A recipe that has eggs as one of its only two ingredients might seem hard—OK, impossible—to veganize, but Angel Foods has released a new cookie mix that is making it a whole lot easier.
You may remember the name Angel Foods from my contest from a while back to give away its vegan marshmallow kit. Well, Angel Foods has now released a vegan meringue cookie kit that requires just water, sugar, a mixer, and a good dose of patience to make those airy and light French cookies you might be missing.
Now is your chance to win one of these kits and test it out for me! We'll be giving away one vegan meringue cookie kit on The VegCooking Blog and one kit on PETA Living. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment and tell me about your favorite cookie. Be creative, and please make sure that your comments are vegan-friendly!
And now for the legal stuff: The contest ends on October 17, and winners will be selected and notified by October 24. You should also be sure to read the contest terms and conditions and PETA's privacy policy before you comment—you're acknowledging that you have read and agree to both by leaving a comment.

I'm dying to test out one of these kits! I always loved the light, crisp, sweet airiness of meringues but hated the eggy flavor (and always felt queasy from it - turns out I am allergic to eggs, dairy and legumes... bleargh!)

Funny enough, my favorite cookie was always the meringue until I became vegan years and years ago. My mom used to bake meringue cookies often for us when my brother and I were growing up, so it's the cookie I most associate with my childhood. It'd be wonderful to be able to eat them again!

My favorite cookies are the chocolate mint melties from Dreena Burton, but honestly, I haven't met a cookie I didn't like. The meringue is something my DH has been asking for about 10 years.

i found a great recipe from sarah kramer's book "la dolce vegan". i forget the name but it's for a super easy, no-bake cookie. melted vegan margerine, natural peanut butter, instant rolled oats, cocoa powder, sugar, and nuts. mix together and make into balls then chill. foolproof and easy! they're perfect for when i'm having a chocolate craving!

Anything Vegan is always great because not only is it more tasty than foods filled with animal fats and anything else related to that, but it saves animal lives every day. Winning such cookies would of course open even more my horizon as i have only been vegan a month and a half. Great recipe's by the way, very mouth watering.

My FAVORITE cookies are the Double Chocolate Chip Cookies from Veganomicon, but with dried Bing cherries instead of Walnuts...they're so easy to make, but I always end up eating more batter than cookies! (I believe that the best thing about vegan cookies is that you can eat the raw dough worry-free!)

Because I can't eat wheat and I am vegan I have special challenges, not so much for myself but for when I'm entertaining non-vegan friends.
My favorite cookie is a vegan hazelnut biscotti with non-wheat flour.

I've never had meringue before (I became vegan as a teen) so I'll have to try this. My favorite cookies are probably simple peanut butter cookies--peanut butter, flour, maple syrup, and some vanilla extract. None of which I currently have in my cupboard, or I'd go make some.

My favorite cookie would definitely have to be the Vegan Peanut Butter cookies. Yummm! I made them for my mom one day (she's strictly against veganism) and she LOVED them. She has me make them when she have her girlfriends over so they can snack on them. I've always been a Peanut Butter fan, I can eat basically anything with Peanut Butter, but these cookies top it off. I love them oh so much. I would love to try the Meringue cookies. My mom never made them for us when we were younger because she said that they were too unhealthy so maybe if she tried the Vegan Meringue cookies, she might actually like them and start making them. :)
