Meringue Kisses

25 - 30 cookies

How do you take two common ingredients and turn them into the baker’s masterpiece? It is super easy with my recipe for delicious and crunchy Meringue Kisses. It takes some time, thanks to the required drying, but it takes very little active time (the time when you have to do...

... something) and very little effort. After you complete these, you will gain excellent knowledge that will set you up for success with preparing other delicious desserts such as Pavlova.

Ingredients:

6 egg whites
2 cups + ¼ cup of confectioners’ sugar

Tools:

1x Measuring Cups
1x Measuring Spoons
1x Kitchen Mixer with Whisk Attachment (or hand mixer)
1x Pastry Bag with Pastry tips (or withou tip or 1 OZ disher or spoons)
1x Baking Sheet with Parchment Paper or Silicone Matt

Directions:

1. Batter:

1.1. Place into your kitchen mixer bowl:

6 egg whites – room temperature
¼ cup of confectioners’ sugar

Whisk on medium speed to get more air into the egg whites and to make the egg whites foamy (about 2 – 3 minutes).

1.2. Add:

2 cups of confectioners’ sugar (the rest of the total amount)

Increase the speed to high and whisk until done – stiff peaks are formed (about 4 – 10 minutes).

Note: If your egg whites were taken directly from the fridge (they aren’t room temperature), this step can take 20 minutes or even significantly longer!

2. Create cookies:

2.1. Using a pastry bag with or without tips, 1 OZ disher or a set of spoons, place the batter portion on the baking sheets with the parchment paper.

Notes:

Leave at least 2” space between each.
With 1 OZ disher, you should be able to create 25 – 30 cookies.

3. Air drying:

3.1.

Let air dry (at room temperature) to allow for crust creation for about 2 hours.

4. Baking:

4.1.

Set oven to preheat to 250° F.

4.2.

Bake in a preheated oven until fully baked – the top has a lightly beige color and looks crunchy (about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours).
