Snowflake Cookies Recipe

January 27, 2012 by OneMommy

 

 

As I promised earlier this week in my post of snowflake crafts and activities, here is the recipe for some cute snowflake meringue cookies!

simple meringue cookie recipe

 

Meringue Cookie Recipe:

  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. flavored extract (lemon, peppermint, orange, almond… I used vanilla)
  • 2 Tablespoons colored sugar to decorate

 

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.  In large bowl beat egg whites and cream of tartar with electric mixer until frothy (about 3 min.).  Set mixer on high and beat another 3 min. or until fluffy.

  3. Add in confectioner’s sugar, a little at a time, and continue beating until the egg whites are stiff and glossy (about 5 min.).easy meringue cookies
  4. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.  Spoon meringue into large pastry bag with a 1/4 inch tip and “draw” snowflake cookie shapes.  Error on the side of being thick so the finished cookies don’t break.  (I used a sandwich bag and just cut the tip off.)  Decorate with colored sugar if desired.

    Not the best looking snowflakes, but they’ll do!
  5. Bake until cookies are dry, but not brown (about 1 hour).
  6. Use scissors to cut the parchment paper and separate the cookies.  Carefully peel cookies from the parchment paper.  Cookies should stay crisp for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.  (Do not refrigerate them.)

The recipe should make approximately 20 cookies.

 

I cut the recipe in half, which also cut down on the time it took to mix the batter.  (Good thing, little guy was super impatient when he learned I was making cookies!  Of course, he still had to wait the hour while they cooked….)

There you have it, a special winter treat to brighten your day.  Great if you want to do a snowflake or other snow day theme kind of day!
