A couple of weeks ago I got together with a friend who also blogs; she and I had plans to make cocktails for today's Progressive Eats event and we were going to do it right...dry ice and spooky all around. Well...what the heck happened Barb? Timing happened! I didn't get to my cocktail until the next day; my Friday Cocktails weekly post was only 2 days away and well, doesn't take much imagination to figure out I punted.
The spooky good Ghost in the Graveyard Cocktail was published last Friday for Friday Cocktails and I was back to square one. My friend Ansh from Spiceroots persevered though and her cocktail contribution is fitting for the theme she chose as this month's host, A Spooktacular Halloween Party. Be sure to check out her and other's contributions after the recipe. Yes, we are a bit late; someone put a spell on us! Still, these cookies? So easy; three ingredients including the chocolate chip eyes. Mix up some meringue and let them dry in a 200 degree oven for a couple of hours and voila...done!
I started making these Meringue Christmas Tree Cookies years ago for the Christmas Holiday; I love how easily they segued to Halloween. These were much easier too...no glitter or stars, just a couple of mini chocolate chips inserted bottom side out; regular chocolate chips would work too. I had some little hands helping so plan on someone getting very sticky...but we had fun!
Funny but these are really so perfect for Halloween. Meringue cookies literally melt in your mouth; doesn't that seem most appropriate for a ghost? BOO!!

Welcome to Progressive Eats, our virtual version of a Progressive Dinner Party. Our menu this month features a cocktail, appetizers and desserts for a Spooktacular Halloween Party. Hosting this month is Ansh from Spiceroots.
If you're unfamiliar with the concept, a progressive dinner involves going from house to house, enjoying a different course at each location.
