Merry Christmas Meringue Cookies
These lovely little low carb treasures are crunchy on the
outside and chewy on the inside. Substitute Christmas mini M&M's for the
chocolate chips for a festive Christmas look.
Made as follows they are low carb but by omitting the chocolate they are
just as tasty and have only 3 carbs each.
Bet you can't eat just one!
2 large egg whites at room temperature
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup dark chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350. Using electric mixer
beat egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until fluffy. Add
the one half of the sugar gradually then add vanilla. Slowly add the remaining
sugar and beat until sugar is dissolved and the meringue is very shiny and
mixture holds it's shape. Gently fold in
chocolate chips and nuts. Place one teaspoon of mixture onto prepared cookie
sheets leaving 1inch space between cookies. Turn oven OFF and place cookies in
oven and leave cookies in oven, undisturbed, for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Makes 36 cookies.
