Hey everyone, hope you’re having an amazing day today. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, cloud-like meringue cookies. It is one of my favorites. This time, I’m gonna make it a bit tasty. This will be really delicious.

Cloud-like meringue cookies is one of the most favored of current trending foods on earth. It’s easy, it is quick, it tastes yummy. It’s appreciated by millions daily. Cloud-like meringue cookies is something that I have loved my entire life. They’re fine and they look wonderful.

Drop by teaspoonful on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. This is one of my favorite cookies to make (and eat!). I love the soft white color of them and their pretty cloud-like shape.

To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have cloud-like meringue cookies using 4 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Cloud-like meringue cookies:
  1. Make ready egg whites
  2. Take cream of tartar (or lemon juice if you don't have it)
  3. Take vanilla extract
  4. Take caster (or granulated) sugar

A classic Christmas cookie that's delicate, light, airy cloud-like and packed with vanilla flavor. Meringues are very fun and festive whether you enjoy them as pie topping or in the form of cookies. These cookies are a great addition to holiday parties and birthday parties or even cookie exchanges just like my Jam Thumbprints. See more ideas about Meringue cookies, Meringue, Desserts.

Instructions to make Cloud-like meringue cookies:
  1. Clean your bowl thoroughly with lemon juice! The last thing you want in there is fat so the meringue can't cling to the sides and grow. Wipe it all down until everywhere is coated. Don't worry, your meringue won't be lemony.
  2. Preheat your oven to 90C. On low with the whisk attachment, lightly whisk your eggs. When it's foamy, add your cream if tartar.
  3. When it has grown in size a bit more, but still just foamy, start, slowly streaming the sugar into it. This is painfully slow but worth the wait. Roughly 1tbsp at a time, let it fall gently into the bowl. After all your sugar has gone in, whip on high for five minutes.
  4. You know you are ready when, if you just take a bit off with your clean fingers, and rub it between your forefinger and thumb, you don't feel any grains. If this isn't the case, whip for another five minutes and check again. And another five minutes after that if you need. You really want to make sure there are no grains, otherwise your meringues won't look so pretty. Once a velvety consistency, you are ready.
  5. Into a piping bag with a tip of choice, I like round tips, open star tips and closed star tips most. They give beautiful, but simplistic, meringues that are pleasing to the eye and cook well. You could try and make meringue flowers if you have the tips, but I don't know how that will go.
  6. Once all your meringues are piped, around 1 1/2 cm apart, they go in the oven for 1 hour. If you have decided to make bigger ones, turn up the oven to 100C after the hour and cook for and extra 10 minutes.
  7. Take them out after however long and cool thoroughly, for around an hour… For soft insides! The small ones do go hard anyway, no matter how you treat it, but if you did a swirl for your meringues, then they should be soft for the rest of the day or maybe two.
  8. If you want crispy meringues, open the oven door and leave them alone for 2 whole hours. It seems like alot but this is just drying them out. After, let them cool on the baking sheet for another hour.
  9. To remove the meringues, shake the baking paper violently, but not flinging it about, there's a difference, and this should loosen the meringues. Gently push them off with one finger underneath, through the baking parchment, and your index finger and thumb just delicately tugging the base away from the parchment. This can take a while. When you are done, you have a beautiful bowl of delicious meringues. Enjoy!

The low temperature guarantees the shaped meringues won't immediately melt. Rather, they'll crisp up on the edges while remaining puffy, light, and cloud-like in the centers. Think of a meringue cookie as an extra mini pavlova. Perfect for tea parties, paired with coffee or hot chocolate, and lovely as a decoration on cakes! 🙂 Meringue cookies are surprisingly easy to make. The secret to turn a few egg whites and some sugar into pillowy cookies is gentle, low heat baking.
