Skinni Meringue Cookies

Skinni Meringue Cookies

I am super excited about this recipe! This is a super light meringue cookie that tastes like heaven! It is a great little cookie that could be made for a girly get together (baby showers, wedding showers, girls nights) that you don’t have to feel guilty about. It is very important when making this recipe to use REAL egg whites. Trust me, I have stubbornly tried using the egg whites in a box (even though it says on the box that it won’t make a meringue) and they don’t make a correct meringue, it comes out runny.

Ingredients

1.       3 egg whites

2.       1/8 teaspoon Cream of Tarter

3.       ½ teaspoon Vanilla

4.       ¾ cups of splenda

5.       Choose One or Neither: 1 teaspoon chocolate powder or ½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Directions

1.       Preheat Oven to 300.

2.       Mix your 3 egg whites, Cream of Tarter, and Vanilla with a hand mixer on high, until a frothy mixture has formed.

3.       Gradually add in your splenda, while mixing at a high speed. I usually do ¼ cup at a time.

4.       Leave the meringue as is for a vanilla cookie, or add in your cinnamon or chocolate powder (whichever flavor you prefer).

5.       Drop meringue onto a parchment paper lined pan. It will make about 30 cookies using a  ½ tablespoon.

6.       Cook for 15 minutes. I usually will set the timer for 10 minutes and flip the pan around for the last 5 minutes, so that the cookies get evenly browned.

7.       Enjoy your cookies! If you have any leftover, then store them in a Tupperware container (usually not an issue for me)!

I Love these Cookies!

*According to my math, there are about 123 calories for the whole pan of cookies (138 for the chocolate), so if you get carried away with your munching (like I normally do), then it’s not that big of a deal! Plus these are high in protein and low in carbs, which is hard to find in a cookie!!!!!
