Super festive, super easy, and super tasty! Does it get any better?? :) My kids love how the meringue melts in their mouths! If you leave the oven door open just a little it can help keep the meringue from browning.

Time 2h50m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 egg whites at room temperature
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup white sugar
1 drop red food coloring, or desired amount
3 tablespoons red colored sugar, or as desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Beat egg whites in a bowl until they form soft peaks; beat cream of tartar and vanilla extract into egg whites. Gradually beat white sugar into mixture until meringue forms stiff peaks. Transfer 1/4 of the meringue mixture into a separate bowl. Beat red food coloring into remaining 3/4 of meringue.
  • Transfer colored meringue into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe 20 Santa hat shaped triangles, about 1 1/2 inch tall and bending over at the tips, onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the hats with red sugar.
  • Transfer remaining 1/4 uncolored meringue into a clean piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe little white pom-poms onto each hat tip and a small edging of fluffy white trim onto the bottom of each hat.
  • Bake meringue cookies in the preheated oven until hard but not browned, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Turn off oven and let cookies cool inside oven until crisp, 1 hour.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Santa hats didn't turn out looking very festive. They were still tasty, though.

I love the idea of these Santa hats, but I think I would use a different type of chocolate next time. The dark chocolate was a little too bitter for my taste.

I had a lot of trouble getting the chocolate to stick to the strawberries. I ended up having to use a toothpick to apply it.

These Santa hats were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still cute and festive.
