CHAI MERINGUE DROPS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield About 60 drops

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bag English Breakfast tea (or about 1 1/4 teaspoons tea leaves)
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
White sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 225 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the tea leaves from the tea bag. If the leaves are large, finely grind in a spice grinder. Mix the tea with the cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in a small bowl.
  • Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until frothy, about 30 seconds. Beat in the cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat in the granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until stiff peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and tea-spice mixture.
  • Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip. Pipe 1 1/4-inch mounds about 1 inch apart on the prepared pans. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the meringues are dry enough to peel off the parchment easily, about 2 hours. Turn off the oven; leave the meringues in the oven to finish drying, about 1 more hour. Let cool completely on the pans.

CHOCOLATE CHIP MERINGUE COOKIES



Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies image

This was adapted from another meringue recipe that I got online. What can I say...it's all about the chocolate. I like these two ways...undercooked and chewy/crispy and dried hard and more crisp-ety. These make excellent gifts when dried all the way because they are supposed to keep a long time.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 1h40m

Yield 20 cookies, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 egg whites, warmed to room temperature in the shell (Just put the eggs in a bowl of lukewarm water while you are prepping other ingredients)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, beat egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, vanilla and cocoa powder until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until meringue is stiff and glossy (about 90 seconds more after all sugar has been added). Please note that it is important to beat the whites long enough. The cookies will spread and be thinner rather than lofty (as shown in the pic) if poured on the sheet prematurely. You don't want the whites to break (start to get crumbly and break a part) .that will result in failed meringues but you are going to beat these a long time -- sometimes it takes me 5 minutes or more! A stand mixer sure is a plus here. What we are doing is incorporating air into the egg whites. That is what makes these cookies lofty, big and light in texture!
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • On a parchment-lined baking sheet, drop meringue by the 1/4 cup (I like to use an ice cream scoop with a release).
  • For chewy cookies with a slightly crispy outer crust: Bake until dry and slightly crispy on outside about 1 hour. Let cool on baking sheets and then remove to an airtight container with sheets of parchment paper in between layers.
  • For crispy more traditional meringues, cook until dry and crispy through about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool on baking sheets. Let cool on baking sheets and then remove to an airtight container with sheets of parchment paper in between layers.

Tips

  • For the best results, use high-quality chocolate chips. This will ensure that your meringue drops are rich and flavorful.
  • Make sure your meringue is stiff before adding the chocolate chips. This will help to prevent the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom of the meringue drops.
  • Be careful not to overmix the meringue once you have added the chocolate chips. Overmixing will cause the meringue to deflate and become less airy.
  • Bake the meringue drops at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help to ensure that the meringue drops are cooked through without becoming overcooked.
  • Let the meringue drops cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the meringue drops from collapsing.

Conclusion

Chocolate chip meringue drops are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a snack. With a few simple tips, you can easily make perfect chocolate chip meringue drops that will impress your friends and family.
