Why are my meringue cookies tasting super sweet?

Hi, sweet friends! I just made a batch of meringue cookies, but they're turning out super sweet, like, sugar-overload sweet. Did I overdo it on the sugar, or is there a trick to balancing the sweetness? Would love any advice to tone down the sugar rush. Thanks!

Hey there! Sorry to hear about your overly sweet meringue cookies. It's possible that you might have added too much sugar, but it could also be due to the type of sugar you used. Some sugars are sweeter than others, so you might want to try using less next time or experimenting with a different type of sugar. You could also try adding a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness. Hope that helps!

Meringue cookies can taste sweeter than desired if they're made with a high ratio of sugar to egg whites. Though, adjusting the proportions or adding a pinch of salt could help temper the sweetness.
