This vanilla meringue cookie recipe will win your coronary heart. Not solely is it gluten-free but it surely solely has 5 components and 9 energy per cookie!

There are such a lot of nice issues about these cookies apart from the very fact they take a little bit of approach. However, if I can do it, you may! In contrast to my Almond Clouds or my frozen chocolate cookie dough recipe, it’s important to pipe the batter (which is a step I might ordinarily keep away from).

These are lovely, they keep recent in a tightly sealed container, and they’re low in energy – solely 9 energy per cookie!. That’s what occurs while you combine egg whites and sugar (and don’t use any flour or butter).

That is cooking alchemy at its greatest as a result of beating the crap out of egg whites turns them into one thing else totally – meringue.

Step one is to deliver your egg whites to room temperature (I put the eggs in heat water for quarter-hour if I neglect to take them out of the fridge). Then you definately beat them with the vanilla, cream of tartar, and a splash of salt besides tuntil foamy.

You add one tablespoon of sugar at a time when you beat on excessive and also you get probably the most superb factor – a thick, shiny batter that turns into a strong while you warmth it! How cool is that?

I’ve a stand mixer as a result of my husband purchased it however you are able to do this with a hand mixer – it would take longer and your hand may get drained.

I used a star tip and a disposable piping bag – each of which you will get within the baking aisle of your grocery retailer subsequent to the cupcake wrappers – and made cute little circles. It actually isn’t laborious – I’m horrible at this sort of factor and I managed to make those under.

Then, you bake them at 250 F for 45 minutes and go away them within the oven with the oven turned off for an hour so that they get dry. Retailer them in an hermetic container (crucial).

These do take time, however they don’t take cash and other people love them. Particularly these people who find themselves making an attempt to keep away from the heavier stuff (I’m you Christmas fudge).
