Decorate with finely crushed nut brittle or other crushed candy. I have used crushed mints with success. You can use whatever flavoring extract you choose: almond, vanilla, lemon, etc.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (130 degrees C).

Cover cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Beat egg whites until very stiff and dry.

Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar slowly and continue beating until mixture holds its shape.

Add flavoring extract.

Fold in another 1/4 cup sugar and 1/3 cup finely crushed nut brittle or other crushed candy.

Drop or form into desired shapes on parchment covered cookie sheet.

You can sprinkle lightly with either more crushed candy or powdered confectioner sugar if desired.

Place in oven for 30-35 minutes until set and delicately brown.
