I know meringues are a like 'em/hate 'em thing for a lot of people. I fall firmly into the like 'em camp. I'm really lousy at making them, though. For some reason, I can never get the whites to whip up the right way. I use a perfectly clean bowl and beaters. I bet them for a long time. I add the sugar in small amounts. Maybe the humidity defeated me on this one.
No crags or mountains. More like small sand dunes?
Mine taste good, but they don't look anything like Dorie's. There is almost no rise to them. I like the subtle cocoa flavor with the bites of semi sweet every so often. I don't taste the almond at all. I wonder if a little almond extract might be better than vanilla in these if you are looking for that taste.
Thanks to Mike of Ugly Food for an Ugly Dude for choosing this one.

The humidity might not have helped your meringues. Although they didn't look like you wanted them to, I'm sure they tasted good!
small sand dunes--hehe. i do think a little almond extract would have been a good idea.
