I have a new obsession, meringues!
I’ve been making them since September and there is everything to love and only one thing to hate (they don’t fill you up, so you can eat them in record numbers- beware). Since it is almost the valentine season, I figured it was time for some lovey-dovey desserts… Don’t you think? Well these pink little pillows are easy to make, delicious to eat and perfectly valentine pink!
Strawberry Meringue Cookies!
| 4 egg white (room temperature) |
| 1/4 cup Strawberry Jell-O |
| small pinch of salt |
| 3/4 cup sugar |
| 1 tsp. vinegar |
| 1 cup Semi sweet chocolate chips |
| Sprinkles of choice |
In a stand mixer with whisk attachment add egg whites, salt, sugar and Jell-O. mix on slow for about 30 seconds to help dissolve sugar. Once the sugar is mostly dissolved, turn the mixer onto medium high and whisk until the egg whites form stiff peaks. Add vinegar, and mix for 10 seconds on low, add chocolate chips and mix one more time for about 20 seconds.
Line your baking sheets with parchment paper. Spoon or pipe the batter onto the cookie sheet, and sprinkle with sprinkles.
Bake at 350 for 9 minutes, rotate the cookie sheet and bake for an additional 9 minutes.
Looks yummy!
Thanks Leslie! Who can resist a pink cookie?
These are so pretty & look soooooo yummy! I must try – thanks for sharing.
They really are fun little cookies! Thanks!
How long would you estimate for the egg whites to get to stiff peaks? I have just your standard kitchen aid stand mixer?
Katie, i do have a stand mixer, it only takes about 2 minutes with that. I have made meringues with beaters, it may take a minute or two more. And IT is okay if it isn’t super stiff, the cookie is just more dense in the end, which I don’t mind!
thanks!!1 i am making these for my daughers 1st birthday! love the pink!
Katie, you are welcome. Thanks for reading our blog.
