Fruity Meringue Cookies
24 servings
1 hour, 45 minutes total (Active 20 minutes)
Ingredients
  • 3 large egg whites
  • Parchment paper
  • ½ oz freeze-dried fruit (such as strawberries, bananas, and/or apples)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ cup sugar
Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 200°F; set egg whites out to come to room temperature. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Crush fruit into fine powder (about ¼ cup). Place egg whites, vanilla, and cream of tartar in large bowl and beat with electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  2. Combine sugar and fruit powder, then sprinkle into egg mixture 1 tablespoon at a time, continuing to blend until just combined. Beat 4–5 minutes until mixture is glossy and opaque and sugar has dissolved.
  3. Spoon mixture into large pastry bag with star tip (or zip-top bag). Pipe cookies onto baking sheet (about 2 tablespoons each), leaving 1 inch between cookies.
  4. Bake 50 minutes until cookies are 160°F, turn off oven, and leave cookies in oven 40 more minutes or until crisp and lightly toasted. Let stand to cool completely on baking sheet before serving. (Makes about 24 cookies.)
