Beach Themed Meringue Cookies

Servings 12 cookies

Ingredients
  

For the meringue:

To decorate:

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2-3 oz. pink fondant
  • Seashell fondant mold

Instructions
 

To make the meringue:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Using a stand electric mixer, start beating egg whites and lemon juice on low speed.
  • Slowly add granulated sugar and increase speed to high. Allow mixing for 10 - 15 minutes, until mixture is white and forms stiff peaks.
  • Scoop ½ of the meringue mixture in a small bowl. Color the remaining meringue with purple gel food coloring and mix until completely melted.
  • Add the white meringue back into the purple meringue mixture and fold. You won’t want to mix both but rather, carefully create a “marbled” look.
  • Scoop the meringue into a piping bag with Wilton icing tip #21 attached.
  • On your lined baking sheet, pipe out 2 inch circular discs.
  • Around the top of each disc, pipe out a border on the circumference.
  • Bake for 2 hours.
  • Once 2 hours is up, turn off the heat and leave in the oven the meringue for another 35 minutes.
  • Give 5 minutes to cool down before decorating.

To decorate:

  • Use your sea shell mold to form pink fondant sea shells. All you have to do is press a little bit of fondant into your shape of choice and remove from the mold.
  • Sprinkle brown sugar in the center of each meringue cookie. Place one fondant seashell in the center. Serve and enjoy!
