2 whole Egg Whites at room temperature
1/4 teaspoons Cream Of Tartar
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cups Mini M&Ms;
1/2 cup small pretzel sticks
Preheat oven to 200º.
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Mix egg whites on high speed with a mixer just until frothy. Add cream of tartar.Continue mixing. Then slowly add sugar Beat until egg whites form stiff peaks.( In my kitchenaid this is about 6 minutes
Using a spoon, heap a large teaspoonful of “batter” onto your cookie sheets, leaving about 3 inches in between.Top with a smaller spoonful and then a third smaller spoonful. decorate to look like a snowman using pretzel sticks for arms(we use gluten free pretzels but you could use licorice or any other stick like arm) and mini M&Ms; for eyes and buttons.
Place in the oven and bake for 30-45 minutes. Take cookies out of the oven and let cool. They can be eaten within a few minutes but They must cool for several hours before they can be stored in air tight containers.
we always made "merry meringues" for part of our Christmas baking days (the same recipe as above only mix in 1/2 of mini m&ms, use only one dallop per cookie and decorate with 3-4 mini M's. Saw this variation of meringue cookie and couldn't resist!!! So much fun Photos came from crustabakes. Mine never last long enough to take pictures!!!!
