Ingredients
  

For the Meringue
  • 3 large Egg Whites Ensure they are at room temperature for optimal whipping.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cream of Tartar Stabilizes egg whites.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Avoid powdered sugar as it will change the meringue's structure.
  • 1 ounce Jello Powder (e.g., strawberry, lemon, lime) Feel free to get creative with flavors!

Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Piping Bag
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar one tablespoon at a time, beating on high for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently sprinkle in the chosen Jello powder flavor, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
  5. Transfer the meringue mixture into a piping bag and pipe onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours until they feel dry to the touch.
  7. Turn off the oven and leave the cookies inside to cool for an additional hour.
