These Raspberry Meringue Cookies are a light and sweet alternative to your typical chocolate chip! Made with whipped egg whites, powdered sugar, and cream of tartar!

Tips and FAQs:

• 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.
• I used a 1M Piping Tip (affiliate) to create my design

Why are my meringue cookies chewy?

Meringue cookies can soak up extra moisture. Following the directions closely and leaving them in the oven overnight is critical in achieving the perfect texture.

How do you store meringue cookies?

Use a quality air tight container (affiliate) away from moisture. If stored properly the cookies should last two weeks.
