Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 24 pieces Semi-sweet chocolate kisses
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a clean, completely dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
Add the cream of tartar and a pinch of salt to the egg whites, then increase the mixer speed to high.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until the meringue forms stiff, glossy peaks.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract using a rubber spatula.
Spoon tablespoon-sized dollops of the meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each meringue dollop, then use a spoon or additional meringue to cover the chocolate completely, forming a smooth mound.
Place the cookies in the preheated oven, then immediately turn off the oven. Leave the cookies undisturbed in the oven for at least 2 hours or overnight. Do not open the oven door during this time.
After the baking period, remove the cookies from the oven. They should be crisp on the outside and light in weight.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy your forgotten kiss cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
