Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Jello powder (any flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: Sprinkles or mini chocolate chips for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare Meringue:
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy.
- Add the cream of tartar and a pinch of salt; continue beating until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold in the Jello powder until fully incorporated.
- Shape Cookies:
- Transfer the meringue mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Pipe small mounds or rosettes onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
- If desired, add sprinkles or mini chocolate chips on top for decoration.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
- After baking, turn off the oven and leave the cookies inside for an additional hour without opening the oven door. This helps them dry out properly.
- Cool and Store:
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the meringue cookies to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crisp texture.
