Meringue Wreath Cookies
Christmas Meringue Wreath Cookies will put a smile on everyone's face this holiday season! Perfectly sweet and fluffy with an airy crunch.
Servings: 48 small wreaths
Equipment
- Frosting tips of choice (I used round tip and star tip)
- Piping bags
- Electric stand mixer with a whisk attachment and mixing bowl
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheets
Ingredients
- 4 Egg whites
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon Cream of tartar
- Christmas sprinkles (I got mine at Walmart)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 230°
- Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper
- Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites for a few minutes on high speed until they are frothy.
- Add the sugar to the frothy egg mixture in small amounts.
- Continue to mix on high for 1 minute.
- Add in the cream of tartar.
- Continue to whip the mixture on high for 4-5 minutes until stiff peaks form (meaning that the meringue holds a form when the mixer is turned off).
- Add green food coloring until desired shade is reached.
- Using an icing bag with a frosting tip, create circular wreath forms
- Add sprinkles for lights and additional sprinkle candies, as desired
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes
- Turn the oven off, but keep the meringues in the oven for an additional hour as the oven cools. This helps remove moisture from the meringue without over baking them.
- Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag
