Ingredients for Meringue Kisses
Helen McMahon for Expert Village. Our meringue cookie recipe is something you’ll probably want to write down so I’ll tell you what the ingredients are. These are for meringue kisses or forgotten cookies or forgotten kisses. You’ll need 2 egg whites, 1-1/2 of teaspoon of salt, 2/3 of a cup of white granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 1 cut of chocolate chips, 1 cup of walnuts, chopped up walnuts. And the salt is beaten in with the egg white and it has to be beaten a very long time in order to get a full volume of the egg white. The egg whites, by the way, should be at room temperature. Don’t try to do this with cold eggs right outside of the refrigerator because it won’t give you the high volume that you need in order to make a meringue. All of your ingredients should be at room temperature for this. And the vanilla and the sugar are added very slowly and then the nuts and the chocolate are folded in very gently at the last minute. You’ll see that as we go through the steps to prepare the cookies.
