French Meringue Cookies image

Take a cue from the French and bake meringues in a rainbow of colors. Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, they're utterly irresistible. Start with Martha's chocolate version, then try the raspberry and orange variations.

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large egg whites, room temperature
1 pinch kosher salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together egg whites and salt on high speed until glossy peaks form. With mixer running, add sugar in three additions, beating until meringue is stiff and glossy. Sprinkle in cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla; gently fold to combine. Sift cocoa over meringue; gently fold so that streaks of cocoa remain.
  • Using a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop, drop 6 balls of meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 3 inches apart. Bake until puffed and slightly cracked, 30 minutes. Turn off oven and let meringues stand at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they are still very good. I think I would cut the sugar in half next time.
