Ingredients
- 3 egg whites
- ⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup granulated white sugar
- Red food coloring (gel-type)
- Red, white, pink sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200° F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat until egg whites are frothy.
- Once frothy, continue mixing and slowly add in the sugar.
- Add in the vanilla extract.
- Blend at medium high speed for about 10 minutes until you have a marshmallow-like soft meringue that barely holds a peak.
- Divide the mixture in half, dying one half with red food coloring.
- Place the two colors into piping bags and snip the end.
- Place both piping bags in a third empty piping bag to create a blend of the two colors.
- On the prepared cookie sheet, pipe out heart-shaped cookies and top with sprinkles.
- Place in the oven for 1 hour.
- Let cool on wire rack. You will have a firm, but soft to bite meringue cookie!
Notes
Store the cookies in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers for up to 1 week.
They can be frozen but the texture will change. I do not recommend freezing them.
