9/21/2010 ~ Today was library day at school and Thyme got to pick out a book to bring home. She picked a cookbook called Pink Princess Tea Parties. When she got home she wanted to try out one of the recipes and picked Confetti Meringue Cookies. We did have to go to the store to buy the Cream of Tartar, but we had all the other ingredients.
3 egg whites, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup confetti sprinkles, divided
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with foil.
In a large bowl , whip egg whites with a mixer until soft peaks form. With mixer running, slowly add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add cream of tartar and vanilla extract. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in 1/4 cup confetti sprinkles.
Spoon mounds (about 2 tablespoons) about 1/2 inch apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Sprinkle each one evenly with the remaining confetti sprinkles.
Place both cookie sheets on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 1 hour. Turn off oven and leave oven door closed for another 10 minutes. Remove cookies from oven. Cool on cookie sheets for 10 minutes, then store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
These were very easy to make with Thyme & Drake's help. Tasty too!
