Peppermint Meringues

January 8, 2013

Ingredients:

2 egg whites

1/8 tsp salt

1/8 tsp cream of tarter

1/2 cup white sugar

2 peppermint candy canes, crushed

Directions:

Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with foil.

In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites, sugar and cream of tarter to soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until whites form still peaks. Drop by spoonfuls 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candy over the cookies.

Bake for 1 1/2 hours in preheated oven. Meringues should be completely dry on the inside. Do not allow them to brown. Turn off the 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.
