Description
Light, airy, and fruity, these Easy Jello Meringue Cookies melt in your mouth with a pop of color and flavor from Jello powder. Perfect for spring parties, baby showers, or as a light gluten-free treat.
Ingredients
4 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons Jello powder (choose your favorite flavor)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites and salt on medium speed until frothy.
3. Add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
4. Slowly add granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while beating on medium-high. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
5. Add Jello powder and vanilla extract. Beat until just combined.
6. If using multiple Jello flavors, divide meringue into bowls and add flavors individually.
7. Transfer meringue to piping bag or use spoons to drop onto baking sheets.
8. Bake for 1 hour. Turn off oven and let cookies sit inside for another hour.
9. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Use room-temperature egg whites for better volume and stability.
Keep mixing bowls grease-free to help meringue whip properly.
For best storage, avoid humid conditions and use airtight containers.
