How to Make Meringue Cookies
-
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°.
-
Step 2
With a hand mixer, beat egg whites until frothy. Mix in sugars until stiff peaks start to form. Do not over mix.
-
Step 3
Tint with food coloring if desired, or add nuts or dark chocolate chips and fold in gently.
-
Step 4
Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a fluted tip and pipe meringues 2 inches apart onto a baking sheet (or use 2 spoons to drop mounds of meringue onto baking sheet). Bake in oven for 2 hours. Turn off oven, but do not remove cookies. Leave in oven for at least 2 hours, or overnight (do not open oven door).

Step 5
Store in an airtight container.
