cookies Ingredients
4 large Land O Lakes® Eggs (whites only), at room temperature
2 teaspoons almond extract
12 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
4 drops green food color
Red and green candied cherries, cut as desired
How to make
-
STEP 1
Heat oven to 275°F.
-
STEP 2
Combine egg whites, almond extract and cream of tartar in bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until foamy. Beat at high speed, gradually adding 2 tablespoons sugar at a time and scraping bowl often, 2-3 minutes or until stiff peaks form and sugar is almost dissolved. Stir in food color.
-
STEP 3
Place meringue in pastry bag fitted with large star tip (number 8). Pipe onto parchment-lined cookie sheets forming 2-inch wreaths; decorate with candied cherries. Bake 25 minutes.
-
STEP 4
Reduce oven to 250°F. Continue baking 23-27 minutes or until edges are set. Cool on parchment paper.
Tip #1
Substitute cookie sheets lined with aluminum foil which have been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray for parchment-lined cookie sheets.
Tip #2
It is important to make sure no egg yolk gets into the egg whites. Egg yolk will keep the egg whites from forming stiff peaks.
