Meringue cookies are incredibly easy to make and can be manipulated into many different shapes and sizes. Because today is Halloween, I thought it would be fun to make Witch Hat Meringue Cookies and watch Halloween movies on Netflix!
Witch Hat Meringue Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cream of tarter
- pinch of salt optional
- green gel frosting
- chocolate cookies
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 215°
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
-
Whisk the egg whites in a stand mixer on medium low.
-
Add in the cream of tartar, vanilla, and, optional, salt.
-
Once frothy, increase speed to medium and slowly add the sugar a little at a time.
-
Bump up the mixer speed to medium-high until firm peaks form.
-
Add food coloring to the inside of the piping bag (or zippered bag!).
-
Fill with meringue and pipe onto the baking sheet.
-
Bake for 60 to 90 minutes or until the outside is crisp and the inside is dry yet chewy. They should feel hollow and light..
-
Allow the meringue to cool completely in the oven.
-
Once the meringue has cooled, set one 'hat' on a chocolate cookie and finish with a ribbon of gel frosting around the base of the meringue.
-
Serve and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Store for 5 - 7 days at room temperature in an airtight container.
Aren’t they the cutest?! I wanted my witch hats to be swirled so I only added food coloring to the piping bag. Witch hat meringue cookies are the perfect Halloween snack but make sure you allow plenty of time to make them.
