As a child growing up, the thing I loved going to smachot for the most were (after Linzer cookies) the meringues. It was so much fun to take a bite and wait for it to slowly dissolve in my mouth. These are a great treat year-round, but almost a necessity for someone with a nut allergy.

Ingredients

Meringue Cookies

  • 4 egg whites

  • 1 cup sugar

Directions

1.

Preheat oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2.

Separate whites from yolks (reserve yolks in the fridge for another use).

3.

Beat whites halfway in electric mixer and slowly add the sugar.

4.

Continue beating until the “snow” is glossy and stiff. Using a spatula, gently transfer to a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Cut off the top of the bag and pipe onto the cookie sheet. Bake for one hour.

Notes:

You can feel free to add a small amount of cocoa or chocolate chips to the mix for chocolate meringues, or flaked coconut (both measured to your preference) for a change of pace.

Alternatively, if you don’t mind the extra mess, cut a larger hole in the bag and pipe a much bigger “cookie” onto the tray. Using the bottom of a glass, press into the center of the meringue and then baked. Once done, you’ll have a beautiful and edible base for a complete dessert – scooping sorbet or mousse into the center makes for an amazing presentation!
