Betty Newman, in the Jewish Bulletin of Northern California, writes: "Special occasions from brit milah to bar and bat mitzvah are rich and sweet already. But you can sweeten any simcha even further with a platter of freshly baked cookies. "Most cookies are quick to prepare and easy to serve. Many freeze well, so they can be made in advance. "... Pecan Meringues add a light touch to the buffet table. They're ideal for those on a low-cholesterol diet as they contain only egg whites, no yolks ..." Pecan Meringues Makes about 3-1/2 dozen 2 egg whites 2 cups confectioners' sugar 1 tsp. white vinegar 1 tsp. vanilla 2 cups pecan halves Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, vinegar and vanilla. Fold in pecans. Drop by the teaspoon 2 inches apart on greased or parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake 12-15 minutes in 300-degree oven (cookies remain light). Remove from pans at once; cool.
