Meringue Cookies are my daughter’s favorite cookies for the holidays! I have to say I grew up loving them to, and I didnt’ have to adapt them too much to make them a great allergen free treat!
Ingredients:
4 egg whites, room temperature
1/4 t salt
1/4 t cream of tartar
1/4 c. sugar
2 c. Enjoy Life chocolate chips
2 t vanilla
Optional
1t peppermint extract
2 c. pecans crushed
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Beat the egg whites in a small bowl until foamy.
Add the salt and cream of tartar, and continue beating until soft peaks form
Add the vanilla
Then add the sugar one T at a time, and beating well between each additional T of sugar
When meringues form stiff peaks you are done mixing (they should keep their shape after you lift the beater out)
Fold in ingredients of your choice. I added 2 cups Enjoy Life Chocolate chips
Drop 1 rounded Tablespoon size on a greased cookie sheet at least 1-2 inches apart. Bake 30-40 minutes until they are slightly cracked at the top!
Enjoy!
