The new year is all about eating healthy isn't it? Well for me, a heathy body includes a healthy mind. And sugar is one of those necessary things to sustain a healthy mind.

You can form the cookies with a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) plain tip, or I often just use two spoons to make the cookies.

In the bowl of your electric mixer, with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on low-medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat the whites until they hold soft peaks. Add the sugar, a little at a time, and continue to beat, on medium-high speed, until the meringue holds very stiff peaks. Beat in the vanilla extract. Note: The meringue is done when it holds stiff peaks and when you rub a little between your thumb and index finger it does not feel gritty. Before placing the cookies on the cookie sheet, place a little of the meringue on the underside of each corner of the parchment paper. Makes about 10 - 2 1/2 inch (6 cm) meringues View comments on this recipe on YouTube.

King Arthur Flour Company, Inc. Wilson, Dede. Financiers Recipe. Financiers (pronounced fee-nahng-syehr) are lovely dome-shaped French tea cakes (cookies) with a soft and springy texture that taste of caramelized butter and almonds. The edges of these cookies are nicely browned and I love to serve them warm from the oven with a hot cup of tea. Dorie Greenspan in her excellent book Paris Sweets tells us that Financiers were first made in the late 19th century by a pastry chef whose shop was close to the Paris Stock Exchange.

He baked the Financiers in rectangular molds that were said to resemble bars of gold. While you can buy special Financier molds to bake these cookies, I just use either individual tart pans (molds) or a miniature muffin tin. The batter for Financiers is made by combining flour with ground almonds and powdered sugar. To that is added lightly beaten egg whites, vanilla extract and brown butter (beurre noisette). Ground almonds (or almond meal) add a really nice flavor and texture to these cookies. Banana Bread Recipe.
