HOT COCOA MERINGUES
Like the frothy topping on a cup of cocoa, these swirled chocolate meringue cookies are light, airy and-of course-dotted with marshmallows. For those who didn't grow up with meringues as a holiday cookie tray staple, it's a great time to get familiar with this delicate cookie. As alternative diets and gluten sensitivities become more prevalent, it's important to bake at least some cookies that'll make all your guests feel jolly, no matter how they eat! Like all meringues, this cookie does not use any flour, so it's gluten free. But we firmly believe that this cookie is much more about what is included than what isn't. Mixing Hershey's™ Special Dark™ cocoa in to part of the batter not only delivers rich chocolate taste (quite an accomplishment for a cookie that's so airy) but it also makes a beautiful swirl that makes them eye-catching. These cookies are perfect for bakers who want to expand their baking skills. Be sure to read the recipe all the way through before you start-a good idea for any cookie-so that you're set up to succeed!

Tips:
- Ensure your cocoa powder is of high quality.
- Use a large enough bowl to whip the egg whites, as they will expand significantly.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form—the mixture should be glossy and hold its shape when you lift the whisk out.
- Gently fold the cocoa-sugar mixture into the egg whites until just combined—over-mixing will deflate the egg whites.
- Pipe the meringue mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each meringue.
- Bake the meringues at a low temperature for an extended period to dry them out without browning.
- Allow the meringues to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
