Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and prepare two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Ensure your mixer bowl and beaters are sufficiently clean, free from any grease.
Mixing
- In your mixer, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until frothy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and Kool Aid until blended.
- Slowly add the sugar and Kool Aid mixture to the frothy egg whites by the tablespoon, continuing to mix until stiff peaks form. This process may take about 18-20 minutes.
Baking
- Using a piping bag or a zip bag with a cut corner, pipe small dollops of the meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure to leave space between each.
- Bake in the oven for 90 minutes or until the meringues begin to turn golden brown.
- Turn off the oven and let the meringues rest inside for 1 to 8 hours to develop a crisp texture.
Serving
- Serve the meringue cookies on a plate, optionally drizzling with sugar-free chocolate sauce or adding fresh berries.
Notes
Store meringue cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They stay fresh for several days.
