Tonight we made peppermint stick meringue cookies. they aren't my favorite but my younger brother loves them so i make them for him:)

Peppermint stick Meringue
2 egg whites
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cider vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
3 crushed candy canes
Preheat oven to 225 degrees F
whip egg whites vinegar and salt until soft peaks form
gradually add sugar then beat until super stiff peaks form (5-7 min)
fold in candy canes
Drop by the spoonful or pipe onto cookie sheet and bake for 60-90 minutes

The first photo looks like some kind of futurstic spider but the rest look like one of my favourite treats that my Grandma used to make. Other than the candy canes, the recipe is the same too. I might just have to make an attempt. My mouth is watering already, Jenny. stabeez · 2011-12-19: 20:13

Your counter looks like mine, your beater looks like mine, and I also love to make meringues! I use similar recipe for Pavlova. Like meringues with chocolate pieces and toasted almonds, coffee flavored dipped in chocolate, and best -- a wonderful Italian dessert boccone dolci! ????? · 2011-12-20: 21:09

looks yummy!!! I'm sure your brother appreciates your effort :) how do you crush the candy canes? I make peppermint bark and crush peppermint candy with my rolling pin. It's a pain so would to find another way :) beth0110 · 2011-12-21: 01:59
