Meringue Cookies should be called Cloud Cookies. They are so delicate and dainty, and they are seemingly light as clouds. If I could eat a cumulonimbus cloud (which are the huge clouds with pillowy mounds of fluff that pile up on all sides), sprinkled with a fair amount of soft sugar, this is what my imagination would like to believe it is going to taste like (obviously it would probably just taste like dirty water mixed with sugar, but that takes the fun out of imagining =).
Swirled Strawberry Meringue Cookies
If meringue cookies are a cookie that you haven’t made or tried in the past, I’d say now is the perfect opportunity. Valentine’s Day treats, anyone? Thanks to this recipe and video tutorial (which I’d recommend watching before you go to make these cookies, it will just cut out any guessing and it’s straightforward), I was able to spend just a few minutes watching how to prepare meringues swirled with gorgeous and vibrant colors. It is such an inventive idea and I love how there are so many different flavors and colors you could choose for these cookies. The pretty shape makes them irresistible on any dessert table! You can use zest of citrus fruits or you can use extracts, which opens up a world of opportunity. Meringues don’t have to simply be just meringues anymore, they can have an exciting little zip to them with the help of a little color and flavor. I can’t wait to try these in many more different flavors. Enjoy!
