BEST Egg White Cookies/Meringues 

 I love meringues. They're sweet, light, airy, elegant, soft on the inside, crispy on the outside. They're easy to make and require few ingredients. You can put sprinkles on them, swirl colors, swirl flavors, they're a versatile dessert! The best! This recipe is for egg white cookies. Which are basically meringues...I've made this recipe multiple times-without a fail. 
The recipe is from kosher.com which is a really great baking/cooking website. Here's the link: https://www.kosher.com/recipe/egg-white-cookies-macaroons-4979. 

INGREDIENTS: 

serves 10

3 large egg whites (room temp)

1/4 tsp salt

1 Tbsp vinegar 

2/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup chopped, roasted slivered almonds (I don't usually put these in) 

3 1/2 oz. grated or chopped chocolate (or mini chocolate chips) 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

1/2 tsp almond extract

Melted chocolate (optional) for dipping cookies

Preparation: 

Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Place egg whites, salt, and vinegar in a mixing bowl. Beat for one minute until "snowy".  Add sugar slowly and beat for four minutes until shiny. 

Add nuts, chopped chocolate, and extracts and mix by hand with a spatula. 

Drop by heaping tablespoon (or if you want to be fancy, pipe) onto a lined and greased cookie sheet or stone. Bake for 40 minutes. Do not open oven door during bake time. Cookies should be hard but not brown. (They'll kinda have a shell on the outside) 

Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes. For an extra elegant finish dip half the cookie halfway in the melted chocolate. These cookies freeze best in a container. 

Have fun with these and maybe try different add-ins. Enjoy!
