Ingredients

(For about 80 meringues)

 

3 egg whites (room temperature)

A pinch of salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup + 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Food flavoring (peppermint, vanilla, lemon, lavender...)

Food coloring (optional)

​

 

Instructions

 

 1 - Preheat oven to 225°F.

 

2 - Sift the two sugars together.

 

3 - Pour the egg whites into the bowl of a stand mixer, add salt. (If you want to add color to the meringues, add a few drops of food coloring now). Start whipping at moderate speed until foamy.

 

4 - Add the sugar 1/2 cup at a time, and whip on maximum speed for about 2 to 3 minutes between each addition until the sugar has completely dissolved, scraping the bowl as needed. Whip to peaks.

 

5 - Once the meringue is shiny, thick, and tripled in volume, add a few drops of food flavoring and whip a few more seconds to combine.

 

6 - Pour the meringue in a piping bag using the nozzle of your choice and pipe small size meringue cookies or kisses onto baking trays lined with parchment paper.

 

7 - Bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour or until the meringues are completely dry.
