I have a new found favorite! I am sure many of you already know of these light sweet little morsels of yumminess, but I have just discovered them...
Not only are they yummy...they are pretty easy to make --that makes them sweeter!
Here is the recipe:
2 egg whites 1/2 Cup white sugar
1/8 tsp. salt 2 peppermint candy canes, crushed
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar * optional and super yummy addition: handful of white morsels.
1. preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with foil.
2. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites, salt and cream of tartar to soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until whites form stiff peaks. Drop by spoon-fuls 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Sprinkle crushed candy over the cookies.
3. Bake for 1-1/2 hours in preheated oven. Meringues should be completely dry on the side. Do not allow them to brown. Turn off oven. Keep oven door ajar and let meringues sit in the oven until completely cool. Loosen from foil with metal spatula. Store loosely covered in cool dry place for up to 2 months.
* I have had these with white morsels...some people call them white chocolate chips but I can't taste or see how they are related to chocolate, so I refuse to call them that.
Toss in a handful and stir a couple of times to mix them in before dropping on the cookie sheet.
