AçAí MERINGUE COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a saucepan, boil ½ cup (100 g) sugar, water, and acai puree.
• Reduce heat to simmer and cook until mixture thickens into a syrup. Add lemon when thickening.
• Let cool before using.
• Preheat oven to 225˚F (105˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they are foamy.
• Add salt and lemon juice. Continue whisking.
• Slowly add sugar while whisking and beat until glossy, stiff peaks form.
• Spoon meringue mixture on the parchment sheet and smooth the top of the meringue with the back of the spoon.
• Drizzle about ¼ teaspoon of acai syrup on the meringue and swirl with a toothpick. Repeat for each cookie.
• Bake for 90 minutes, until the outside shell becomes stiff and the meringue has gone from shiny to matte. The cookie should easily lift off the parchment.
• Enjoy!
