This month we're featuring the impeccable winter woodland-themed work of Cookie Connection member @Ewa Kiszowara MOJE PIERNIKI .

Could the amount of meringue powder be reduced to help soften it up? I use a Tablespoon of corn syrup in my recipe, can I add more to help with the issue? It also seems that sometimes it turns out harder than other times even though it’s the same recipe. Help!Read More...
