Toffee Meringue Kisses
- 6 egg whites, room temperature
- 12 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 12 cups fine sugar
- 34 cup chopped pecans
- 34 cup mini chocolate chip
- 34 cup toffee pieces
- cocoa, for dusting
- Preheat to 250F.
- Whip egg whites and cream of tartar together until the egg whites form soft peaks.
- Gradually add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Whip the egg whites until they are very firm and glossy.
- Feel the egg whites to make sure the sugar is dissolved -- the mixture should not be too gritty.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, nuts, and toffee bits all at once until well combined.
- Pipe or drop spoonfuls on to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- The cookies do not spread very much, so you can put them fairly close together.
- Bake for 35 or 40 minutes.
- If cookies start to brown, reduce heat to 225F.
- Turn off oven and leave cookies in the oven with the door slightly open (you can use a ball of foil to hold the door open).
- Leave the cookies to dry out in the warm oven for at least two hours, more time if needed.
- Dust and serve.
