Easy Jello Meringue Cookies

These Easy Jello Meringue Cookies are light, crisp, and bursting with fruity flavor. Made with egg whites, sugar, and flavored gelatin, they bake slowly for a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 egg whites room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Jello dry powder any flavor
  • Dash of salt
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions
 

  • Set the oven to 225°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Beat egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. The mixture should be foamy but still droop at the tip.
  • Gradually add sugar and Jello powder, one tablespoon at a time. Increase the speed to high and whip until stiff, glossy peaks form (5-7 minutes).
  • Transfer the meringue to a piping bag with a 1M star tip. Pipe rosettes or small swirls onto the baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  • Bake for 1 hour at 225°F. Do not open the oven door. After 1 hour, turn off the oven and let the cookies dry inside for another hour.
  • Once cooled, gently peel the meringues off the parchment. Store in an airtight container or serve immediately.
