meringue cookies

Crisp whipped treats

Meringue cookies are light, airy confections made from whipped egg whites and sugar, baked at low temperature until crisp.

They dissolve on the tongue with intense sweetness.

The cookies may be plain or flavored with vanilla, cocoa, or folded-in ingredients like chocolate chips or nuts: She piped the meringue cookies into little peaks before baking.
