Time 1h2m

Yield 90 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup egg whites (from about 4 eggs)
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon mint extract or mint flavoring (not mint oil)
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped or grated
2 ounces semisweet chocolate
Additional equipment: A pastry bag fitted with a large plain or star tip, 2 cookie sheets, well greased, or lined with parchment paper, or lined with nonstick baking mats, or 2 nonstick cookies sheets.

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Heat the egg whites and sugar in the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water until warm to the touch (this will help you get more air into the whites when you whip them). Transfer to a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whip until soft peaks form. Add the mint extract and continue whipping just until stiff and glossy. Fold in the chopped unsweetened chocolate.
  • Scrape the mixture into a pastry bag. Pipe bite-size kisses onto the cookie sheets and bake until the meringues are the color of milky coffee, 25 to 30 minutes. To test, remove one meringue from the oven, let cool one minute, then taste. It should be dry and crisp all the way through. Let cool on the pans.
  • Melt the semisweet chocolate. Dipping the tines of a fork into the chocolate, drizzle the meringues with melted chocolate. Let sit until chocolate is set, 30 minutes to an hour (or let set in the refrigerator for 15 minutes).
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meringues turned out flat and chewy. They didn't have the light and airy texture that I was expecting.

These meringues were a bit too dry for my taste, but they still had a good flavor.

I had some trouble getting the meringues to hold their shape, but I think that was my fault. They still tasted great!
