Peppermint Meringue Cookies
Ingredients:
4 large egg whites, room temp
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
¾ cups sugar
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
Red food gel (not food coloring)
Large star tip, 2 piping bags, and small paint brush
Ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 225°F. Line your baking trays with silicone baking mats or parchment.
Whip egg whites and cream of tartar until they are frothy.
Add the sugar slowly then increase the speed of the mixer to whip the mixture to stiff peaks.
Add in the peppermint extract and whip only for a couple seconds.
Fit your piping bag with a large star tip.
Fill one piping bag (not fitted with a tip) with the meringue mixture and then cut the tip off.
Fit the second bag with the large tip and then use the small paint brush to paint lines inside the bag leaving space between the lines.
Take the meringue bag and carefully squeeze it into the red lined bag.
Pipe large kisses onto prepared trays.
Bake for one hour.
(DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN)
After the hour, turn off the oven and allow the cookies to remain in the oven for at least another hour.
Test the meringue cookies. If they are still chewy, let them dry for longer.
Store meringues in an airtight container on the counter or even the freezer. Containers MUST BE airtight because any condensation/humidity will make them sticky.

They were so fun!

[@WannodsPlace]

I wonder if you did one side of the bag red and the other side in green, then the swirls would have the candy cane look ,, regardless they look adorable and yummy❤ so glad 😊 I found your channel ty. Such great vids

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

That’s a great idea! I’m making them again next week! I’ll try!

[@rideswithchrist]

We made these yesterday and they were SO fun!
Chloe used a paintbrush to put the red in the bags and they came out so well.
Ours were a bit toasted though- should we lower the temp or shut it off sooner?

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

Toasted, like a bit browner (not white)? I think you could def turn off the oven sooner, of if they were only toasted on the bottoms, double up your cookie sheet to prevent them from browning prematurely. Hope you had a great Christmas and I'm wishing you a happy new year!!

[@rideswithchrist]

They were toasted all over, not terribly but def not white... we are thinking it was the bottom rack getting too warm. Either way they were a HIT- and still so weirdly good after some sat out and got gooey haha.@@AdventuresinEverydayCooking
