Jello meringue cookies
Recipe by Becky Isla
2 egg whites- set our for about 20 mins to come to room temperature (I used cartoned liquid egg whites so i didn't have to separate eggs and find something to do with the yolks)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup whatever flavour jello power you want (regular, not diet/sugar free)
food colouring if desired
mix the jello and sugar and run it through your blender, food processor, magic bullet, whatever... until its a little more powdery (45sec to 1 minute in my magic bullet)
Prep. Time → 15 min
Cook Time → 60 min
1. preheat oven to 225F
2. make sure the bowls and beaters are dry and clean. leftover oil, grease or moisture will deflate the meringue and prevent it from making peaks. it's also better to use glass or stainless steel bowls (not plastic)
3. using the whisk attachment on a stand or handheld mixer beat the beat egg whites in a large bowl until frothy, about 45 seconds.
4. add cream of tartar, mix on med high speed until soft peaks form. about 5 minutes
5. increase speed to high. add jello/sugar powder 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until it's is dissolved, add food colouring if you want a different colour. beat until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
6. line baking sheets with parchment paper
7. using a piping bag, or sandwich bag fitted with a piping tip (or just cut the corner off for the size you want) pipe out 1 inch cookies spaced a few centimeters apart on the baking sheets.
8. bake meringues for 1 hour. turn off the oven and leave the meringues to stand in the oven for 1- 2 hours. no peeking! then remove to cooling racks for about 15 minutes.
9. enjoy! or pack up into air tight containers
10. the ones in the picture used berry blue jello
