Healthy & Delicious: Meringue Cookies Recipe
- 2 egg whites
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)
- 4 drops green food coloring (optional)
- Heat oven to 225u0b0F and line two cookie sheets with aluminum foil.
- Using a StandMixer or good hand mixer, beat egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar on medium-high speed until
- form. Slowly add sugar and keep beating until
- form. (DO NOT underbeat.) If using extract and food coloring, add at the end and beat for another 2 or 3 minutes.
- Spoon mixture into a plastic bag and squeeze out most of the air. Cut off one small corner of the bag and pipe cookie-sized dollops of meringue on to cookie sheets, about 1 inch apart. (If done correctly, the cookies will stay in those exact shapes when finished.)
