These Green Meringue Medallions are the definition of “melt-in-your-mouth.” Naturally gluten-free and incredibly light, they offer a delicate crunch followed by a sweet, airy finish. Perfectly tinted for Christmas or St. Patrick’s Day!
4 large egg whites (room temperature)
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup granulated sugar
Green gel food coloring
Golden sprinkles
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 200ºF.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add lemon juice and gradually increase the speed to high.
3. As you beat the egg mixture, slowly add the 1 cup of sugar one tablespoon at a time.
4. Once the mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks, add one small drop of green gel food coloring.
5. Using a piping bag, pipe a dollop of meringue onto your lined baking sheet, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
6. Garnish the top portion of each “medallion” with golden sprinkles.
7. Bake for two hours. Once the time is up, turn off the heat and let the cookies sit in the oven for 35-45 minutes to dry completely.
8. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature before storing.
