Delicate Strawberry Rose Meringue Cookies

I received few messages regarding these pretty sweet cookies. What? How? These cookies were requested by one of the customer for an engagement gift.

My bad for not explaining further on these germs, i've always in a hurry in updating this blog. A chocolate cake is baking in the oven, and here I go sharing for all.

The recipe was from Sweetapolita. (I cant open the site tonight, will update the link once ok)

4 large egg whites
1 package (85 gram) Strawberry Crystal Jelly {i used Nona}
50 gram cup caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 100 degree Celsius. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mat. {I used the silpat mat}

Place the egg whites in a large bowl and with an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat on medium until frothy. Pour the Jelly mixture powder & sugar, into the bowl in a slow, steady stream. Turn mixer on high and continue to beat until the egg whites are stiff and shiny, about 5 minutes.  Add vanilla extract until just combined. 

Scrape the meringue into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe the cookies onto the lined baking sheets.  Starting in the middle and make 2 full circles, about 2-inch in diameter and 1 1/2-inch apart.  

Bake the meringues until they are firm, about 2 hours. Turn off the oven and leave cool. Once cool, store in air tight container.


Try it!!! It's like having a crunchy jelly.. Guilt free! Cookies without any butter & egg yolk. LOL!!

Something is amissed in the recipe..i'll figure it out..i'll be tweaking it a bit soon for a better/drier cookies. These one were too sensitive to moisture and air..


The only  'decent' photo I managed to capture :(

Happy trying!
