Christmas Treats: Merry Meringues

Thanks to a lovely standmixer I can make things that I would otherwise never have the patience to make. I made these great meringues for the first time this year. They're pretty sweet, but James and the boys loved them just the same. Keelan was thrilled to be able to help "sprinkle" the jello powder on top.

MERRY MERINGUES
Ingredients:
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • jello powder (christmas colors)
 Preheat oven to 225F. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar on high for 5 minutes, or until soft peaks form. Add sugar, one Tbsp at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form (careful not to overwhip or they will collapse).
Drop tablespoons full of the mixture onto a well greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with the jello powder.
Bake 50 minutes. Turn off oven and let stand for about an hour, or until completely cooled.
Yeild: 24 cookies.
