I absolutely loved preparing a Thanksgiving Feast for my family this year. Here's the menu.
I will be posting some recipes in the coming days as well as some photos. On a whim I added Cinnamon Meringue Cookies to my dessert lineup, mostly because I had some extra egg whites in the fridge. It turns out they were the most popular dessert among the little ones!
Cinnamon Meringue Cookies
Ingredients:
- 4 large egg whites at room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup superfine sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon flavor
1. Preheat the oven to 200° F.
2. Place the egg whites in a large glass mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer begin beating the eggs. After several minutes they will start to thicken.
3. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form. With the mixer on, gradually pour in the sugar and add the cinnamon flavor.
4. Continue to beat the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy. This will take about 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and place regular mounds of meringue about an inch apart on the paper.
6. Place in the oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Turn off the oven and allow the meringues to continue drying for several hours or remove them from the oven and leave in a warm place.
Makes about 2 dozen 2-inch meringues.
