Kool Aid Meringue Cookies
Kool Aid meringues are delicious, light, fruity, and so much fun to eat. Flavored and colored with Kool Aid Powder.
Equipment
- Electric Mixer
- Bowls for making different colors
- Baking sheet
- Non-stick spray
- Frosting bag with a star-shaped tip
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- ½ teaspoon Cream of Tartar
- 1 cup sugar
- Kool-Aid packets in your flavors of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites until they become frothy (you will see lots of little bubbles).
- Next, add your sugar in small amounts.
- Finally, mix in the cream of tartar.
- Continue to whip the mixture until it gets stiff (meaning that it holds a shape when stopped).
- Depending on how many Kool-Aid flavors you wish to use, separate your mixture into even parts using small bowls.
- Add the Kool-Aid powder 1/2 tsp at a time until the desired color is reached.
- Remember, the Kool-Aid powder is potent, so a little goes a long way!
- Prepare your baking sheet with a layer of foil covered with non-stick spray, as seen below.
- Create an easy meringue cookie shape using either: Wilton’s Cake Decorating set, zip-top baggies with the tip cut off, or using rounded spoonfuls.
- Bake them at this low temperature for about 45 minutes or until the tops become a little brown.
- Once they are completely cooled, they will harden and be ready to eat! Some will be sour, some will be sweet, but they will ALL be super cool!
