Yield 10 2.5" cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup (150 grams) superfine or caster sugar (if you don't have superfine sugar simply take granulated white sugar and process it for about 30-60 seconds in a food processor)
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Garnish:
1/4 cup shaved Almonds

Steps:

  • Meringue Cookies: Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and place the rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You can form the cookies with a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) plain tip, or I often just use two spoons to make the cookies. In the bowl of your electric mixer, with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on low-medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat the whites until they hold soft peaks. Add the sugar, a little at a time, and continue to beat, on medium-high speed, until the meringue holds very stiff peaks. Beat in the vanilla. Before placing the cookies on the cookie sheet, place a little of the meringue on the underside of each corner of the parchment paper. This will prevent the paper from sliding. Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) tip. Pipe 2 1/2 inch (6 cm) rounds of meringue in rows on sheet Bake the meringues for approximately 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours, rotating the baking sheet from front to back (about half way through) to ensure even baking. The meringues are done when they are pale in color and fairly crisp. (The meringues will release easily from the parchment paper.) Turn off the oven, open the door a crack, and leave the meringues in the oven to finish drying several hours or overnight. The meringues can be covered and stored at room temperature for several days. Makes about 10 - 2 1/2 inch (6 cm) meringues View comments on this recipe on YouTube Read more: http://www.joyofbaking.c

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more egg whites next time.

I've made these cookies several times now and they're always a hit. They're so light and airy, and they have a beautiful golden brown color. I love that I can customize them with different flavors and colors.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

OMG! These cookies are amazing! They're so light and fluffy, and they just melt in your mouth. I can't believe how easy they were to make.

These cookies were a disaster! They spread out too much in the oven and they ended up being flat and crispy. I don't know what I did wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of meringue cookies, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The cookies were light and airy, and they had a nice crispy exterior. I would definitely make these again.

I had a hard time getting the meringue to form stiff peaks. I ended up having to add more sugar than the recipe called for. The cookies turned out okay, but they weren't as light and airy as I had hoped.

I've tried many meringue cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. They also have a beautiful golden brown color. I highly recommend this recipe!
