Meringue Cookies Ingredients

• 4 oz egg white
• 3/4 cups of sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Food coloring:

• 1 drop red
• 1 drop golden yellow
• 1 drop mint green
• 1 drop navy blue

How to Make Meringue Cookies

Step 1:

Add the egg whites, sugar, and vanilla extract in a heat-proof bowl. Whisk until well combined.

Step 2:

Place the bowl over a pot with boiling water and keep whisking until it reaches 113F. Remove it from the pot.

Step 3:

Using a hand mixer, whip the mixture at high speed until thick. If the tip is slightly bent when lifted, lower the speed to medium/low speed and let it stabilize for 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 4:

Divide the meringue into 4 and place them in each bowl. Add a drop of food coloring on each bowl. One color per bowl. Mix well.

Step 5:

Put equal parts of each color in a piping bag with a pod. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a sugar powder and circular cutter to determine the size and position on the parchment paper. Squeeze the meringue to size.

Step 6:

Place in the 185F to 194F preheated oven and bake for 2 hours. Once done, cool them completely in a dry environment.
