Meringue Cookies
These cookies are unique and subtly sweet. They have a crisp exterior, but a softer and delicate center. I think they taste better the day after they're baked. Be sure not to overbeat the egg whites...stop at stiff peaks. For the cookies pictured we skipped the sprinkles and used 2 drops of red gel food coloring. Recipe adapted from a recipe in the Sallys Cookie Addiction Cookbook.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 225°F. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and set it aside. Fit a disposable piping bag with either a rounded or a star tip and set that aside.
- 2
In a large bowl (make sure it is completely clean and dry) place the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt. Use either a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and beat the egg white mixture on high speed for about 3 minutes or so, until soft peaks form. Then while the mixer is still running, gradually add in the sugar and continue to beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 or so more minutes. If using the food coloring, beat it in now.
- 3
Use a rubber spatula to transfer the egg white mixture into the prepared piping bag.
- 4
Pipe out mounds onto the prepared baking tray, raising them up as you do. They won't spread, so you can place them fairly close together. If using sprinkles, then sprinkle them over the meringue cookies now.
- 5
Bake for 60 minutes, then turn the oven off but leave them in the oven for another hour or so. After that, take the tray out of the oven and let them come completely to room temperature. Serve immediately after.
- 6
These can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Since I used the egg yolks when I made some treats, I wanted a way to use up the leftover egg whites and meringues are the only thing to use them up in!I heard from others that the meringues can stick to aluminum foil, so try placing a sheet of parchment paper over the foil.This treat takes time to bake, although they disappear in an instant. *\( o * Recipe by Tomuhi-toku-ga-

A good holiday cookie. I use mint for Christmas, cinnamon for fall, lemon for spring, and so on,slightly addictive, if you make a set make two best in stand mixers, but can be done with hand mixers.
