This recipe is different from many other meringue recipes because it calls for powdered egg whites rather than fresh. The nuts are optional. Adapted from Wilton Celebrate. Ingredients:
4 teaspoons powdered egg whites or 4 teaspoons meringue powder |
4 tablespoons water |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 teaspoon orange extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3/4 cup chocolate chips |
1/2 cup pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 275 F.
2. Beat powdered egg whites with sugar, water and flavoring on high speed of an electric mixer for 4-5 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently hand stir in chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
4. Drop Tbsps of batter onto parchment-lined cookie sheets and bake for 55-60 minutes or until lightly browned and dry.
5. Do not overbake.
6. These only keep a few days in a wax paper lined cookie tin, so don't make too far in advance.
