These little white puffs of decadence are so festive for Christmas when the candy canes are plentiful. This would also be great for a gift in a pretty Christmas tin tucked away in some tissue paper. Ingredients:
4 egg whites |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1 cup sugar |
4 peppermint candy canes, crushed |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Sprinkle with salt and cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form.
2. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased foil or parchment paper; sprinkle with crushed candy.
3. Bake at 225 degrees for 1 1/2 hours Turn off the heat; leave cookies in the oven with the door ajar for at least 1 hr or until cool.
4. Store in an airtight container.
5. **NOTE: You can substitute spearmint candy canes or mix the two for a different mint flavor. YUM!
