• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 20-30

ingredients

• 3 egg whites, at room temperature
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 3 1⁄2 tablespoons raspberry gelatin powder
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 cup miniature white chocolate chips

directions

1. Heat oven to 250º.
2. Beat egg whites with salt.
3. Add gelatin and sugar gradually; beat until soft peaks form and sugar is dissolved.
4. Beat in vinegar.
5. Fold in white chocolate chips. (I actually prefer not to use these -- but my husband likes it with them)
6. Drop one teaspoons worth of meringue onto an un-greased cookie sheet lined with parchment or brown paper. [If you make them too big, they won’t cook all of the way through. Also, I have found that it works best if you use a non-stick cookie sheet.].
7. Bake 25 minutes. Turn oven off and leave the cookies in the oven 20 minutes longer.

These pretty cookies make a great addition to a Christmas plate, or would be perfect for Valentine's Day. I thought they were just a bit sweet, so I might cut back a bit on the sugar next time to see if that balances them out. I used blackberry fusion jello and that worked fine. Both my daughters commented separately that these taste like cotton candy. I was afraid my egg whites weren't going to beat up properly, but I kept at it and they eventually did. They weren't fluffy, but they were stiff. Thank for sharing this great recipe!
