Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 200°F (90°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
-
Gradually add the Stevia sweetener, a tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed. Beat until stiff peaks form and the mixture becomes glossy.
-
Gently fold in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the meringue.
-
Transfer the meringue mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip or simply use a spoon to drop dollops of meringue onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the meringue cookies for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the cookies are dry to the touch and easily lift off the parchment paper.
-
Once baked, turn off the oven but leave the meringue cookies inside with the door slightly ajar for about 30 minutes to cool slowly. This helps prevent cracking.
-
Once completely cooled, serve and enjoy these airy and delightful Meringue Cookies sweetened with Stevia.
