Merinque Cookies

Post by Jean »

Meringue Cookies
2 Tbs. Just Whites mixed with 6 Tbs. Luke warm water (or 3 egg whites at room temperature)
1/8 tsp. Cream of Tartar
1/8 tsp. Salt
¾ cup sugar
¾ tsp. Vanilla powder (sub 1½ tsp. Vanilla extract that is safe for your diet, add with sugar)
2 Tbs. Powdered cocoa (if you can tolerate chocolate)
Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease two cookie sheets with olive oil or line with aluminum foil.

In mixing bowl, mix Just Whites and water, let stand 2 minutes. Add cream of tartar and salt and beat on medium until foamy. With mixer going, add sugar a little at a time. Turn mixer to high and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in vanilla powder and cocoa. Drop on pan using two spoons. Bake for 40-45 min. Let cool for 5 min before taking off pan.

Revised recipe:

Cut sugar to 1/2 cup or less.

I don't use the vanilla or chocolate anymore, prefer the flavor.

Preheat oven to 225 and bake for 110 min-2hours. Let cookies cool in oven for an hour or overnight. This makes them crisp all the way through.

I double the recipe and it fills two cookie sheets.
