Trader Joe's Meringue Cookies

I discovered these meringue cookies about a year ago and they have since been a nice treat when I have a sweet tooth and do not want to sacrifice a lot of calories. Although the portion size says 4 cookies, I prefer to eat only one at a time. One of these is only 27.5 calories! So I see it as pretty harmless. But make sure you do not eat too many because the calories WILL add up and you will NOT  be full from these.


The shell of these is hard but once you bite into it, the cookie melts in your mouth. It is very sweet which is not surprising since it has 6.8 grams of sugar for just ONE of them. Definitely not an everyday treat due to the high sugar content, but better than most cookies in terms of calories.
