Categories     Candy

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 small cookies, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup of finely granulated sugar
2 -3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
food coloring (optional) or flavoring (optional)

Steps:

  • set oven to 300 degrees and line one or two cookie sheets with pastry or wax paper.
  • first you want to blend together the egg whites, salt, and vanilla very well together over a double boiler (i don't have one but i've found that if you use a medium pot with 1'' of water and a medium mixing bowl, it helps out very much).
  • put it all in a stand- up mixer (like our kitchen-aide) and blend at high.
  • while blending slowly add sugar until stiff peaks occur.
  • after peaks are made, put in a pastry/icing bag (using corner of a freezer bag or a tight funnel made of wax paper works as well) and pipe onto lined cookie sheet
  • bake for 12-15 minutes or until tops are a slight golden shade.
  • serve while warm or put in air tight container (keeps for about a week if they last that long).

Tips
###
  • Use fresh egg whites. Older egg whites won't whip up as well and will result in flat, dense cookies.
  • Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of grease. Any residue will prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing it as they start to foam. This will help to prevent them from becoming overbeaten and grainy.
  • Add the sugar slowly, one tablespoon at a time. This will help to prevent the meringue from becoming too sweet or grainy.
  • Continue beating the meringue until it is thick and glossy and holds stiff peaks. This will take about 5-7 minutes on medium speed.
  • Pipe the meringue into desired shapes onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 200°F for 1-2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to an airtight container.
