Meringue cookies with a surprise inside. A variation of this recipe would be to omit the peppermint extract and add 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans after the stiff peaks form. Ingredients:
3 egg whites |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional) |
1 pinch salt |
1 cup white sugar |
44 milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped |
Directions:
1. In small bowl, beat egg whites, vanilla, cream of tartar, peppermint extract (if using) and salt till soft peaks form.
2. Very gradually add sugar; bet till very stiff peaks form. Drop by tablespoon 1 1/2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet.
3. Press a chocolate kiss into each cookie. With a table knife, bring meringue up over candy.
4. Bake in 275 degree F (140 degrees C) oven for 30 minutes. Immediately move to rack to cool.
