Lemon Meringue Cookies

I love Meringue cookies! I mean truly hearts and flowers love them! I also love Lemon Meringue Pie so I thought why not combine both of these loves and create Lemon Meringue Cookies Recipe!


A few weeks ago I made Starbucks Coffee Meringue Cookies and they turned out great. I decided to take that recipe and make some adaptations to create Lemon Meringue Cookies

I have to confess that the first time I made Meringue Cookies I was so scared! For some reason, I was freaked out that I would not be able to get the stiff white peaks that they talk about on the food shows and would have lumpy yucky cookies.

Thankfully I conquered my fears and tried making meringue cookies. I am not sure my waistline is happy that I learned how to make these amazing cookies but my taste buds certainly are.

These are such a great spring flavor! So good and honestly pretty easy to make once you get the peaks forming with the egg whites.

Just remember to slowly add in the sugar. If you dump the sugar in all at once you can breakdown the air that you worked so hard to get into the egg whites. You want to get the sugar evenly spread into the egg whites while maintaining the air in them.

Ingredients

  • Egg whites
  • Cream of tartar
  • Salt
  • Vanilla extract
  • Sugar
  • Lemons
