How To Make Cookies Out Of Meringue

While these cookies are super easy to make, they can be a little finicky. You want the end result to be a light, slightly dry, baked cookie. Follow the steps below to ensure the perfect meringue cookie every time!

1. Start with room temperature eggs.
2. Separate the eggs and beat until just foamy. Whisk in the cream of tartar and sugar.
3. Fold in the extract and food coloring if using.
4. Pipe onto a prepared baking tray and place in a preheated oven.
5. Turn OFF the oven and leave your cookies in overnight.

I found that a hand mixer (affiliate) works best with this recipe.

Start with ROOM TEMPERATURE INGREDIENTS. I can’t stress this enough.

Use disposable piping bags (affiliate) for easy clean up.
