Raspberry Meringue Cookies

I do not remember where I got this recipe, but I have been making it at christmas every year. I really love them! They are light and puffy and sweet. Yum!

• Ready In: 55 mins
• 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.
