Basic Ingredients- 2 egg whites
- 80g sugar
- 5 drops lemon juice (optional, to remove eggy smell)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a clean, dry bowl, add the 2 egg whites. Begin whipping them with an electric mixer or whisk until large bubbles form. Once large bubbles appear, gradually add half of the sugar (40g) while continuing to whip.
Step 2
Continue whipping until the meringue becomes smooth and stiff. Then, add the remaining 40g of sugar, divided, and whip until stiff peaks form. To check for doneness, turn the bowl upside down – the meringue should not slide out, and the peaks should stand firmly.
Step 3
Add 5 drops of lemon juice to neutralize any eggy odor. Gently mix it in. This step is optional and can be skipped if you don’t have lemon juice.
Step 4
Transfer the meringue into a piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag by cutting off a corner.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 110°C (230°F) for 20 minutes. A well-preheated oven ensures even baking for the meringues.
Step 6
Prepare your chosen snacks to decorate. Here, we’ve selected chocolate chip cookies, ladyfingers (or similar small biscuits), and mini wafers for their texture and flavor combinations.
Step 7
Pipe the meringue mixture onto the chocolate chip cookies, creating your desired shapes. The meringue sitting atop the cookies creates a delightful visual.
Step 8
Here’s a look at the piped meringue from the side, showcasing its whimsical peaks.
Step 9
Pipe meringue onto the ladyfingers, then gently place another ladyfinger on top to create a sandwich effect. This method adds an extra layer of creativity to your meringue cookies.
Step 10
Observe the ladyfingers filled with meringue in between. Their charming appearance builds anticipation for the finished cookies.
Step 11
Pipe the meringue decoratively onto the mini wafers. The combination of the wafer’s shape and the piped meringue will result in visually appealing cookies.
Step 12
All the meringues have been piped onto the various snacks. Now, these cute creations are ready for baking.
Step 13
Carefully place the meringue-topped snacks into the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 105°C (220°F) and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Baking at a low temperature for a long time ensures the meringues become crisp all the way through.
Step 14
Once baked, allow the meringue cookies to cool completely in the oven or on a wire rack. After they have thoroughly cooled, package them in pretty wrappers for a delightful gift or a special treat!
Step 15
Voilà! Here are the beautifully finished meringue cookies. The contrast between the light, crisp meringue and the crunchy cookie base is simply delightful.
Step 16
Feel free to experiment with different snacks and shapes, just like in the photo, to create your own unique meringue cookies. The more creative you are, the more special your treats will become!
Step 17
You could even use Pepero sticks! Piping meringue onto them would create Pepero meringue cookies, a wonderful alternative gift for special occasions instead of the traditional chocolate-covered biscuit sticks.
