The baked goods a lady from my dad's church gave me. I don't even know what they were; it tasted and looked like it was just a bunch of dallops of cake frosting sprinkled with almond dust. I don't really eat sweets, and these offended my taste buds when I ate one. Nobody else wanted to take them off my hands so into the trash they went.
Meringues?
Maybe? I've never had meringue as anything other than what tops a lemon meringue pie, and that's pretty fluffy and light and doesn't really taste like frosting (butter cream frosting to be specific). These treats in question were fairly dense, and a bit crumbly. Could be meringue that's dried out some, I guess.
I think that the other person was right about them being meringue.
There are a few different types of meringue that you can make, and there are also meringue cookies. I've had some before and they were almost exactly how you describe them.
