Recipe Summary Santa Hats
Super festive, super easy, and super tasty! Does it get any better?? :) My kids love how the meringue melts in their mouths! If you leave the oven door open just a little it can help keep the meringue from browning.Ingredients | Beer Cowboy Hat Diy2 egg whites at room temperature½ teaspoon cream of tartar¼ teaspoon vanilla extract½ cup white sugar1 drop red food coloring, or desired amount3 tablespoons red colored sugar, or as desiredDirectionsPreheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.Beat egg whites in a bowl until they form soft peaks; beat cream of tartar and vanilla extract into egg whites. Gradually beat white sugar into mixture until meringue forms stiff peaks. Transfer 1/4 of the meringue mixture into a separate bowl. Beat red food coloring into remaining 3/4 of meringue.Transfer colored meringue into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe 20 Santa hat shaped triangles, about 1 1/2 inch tall and bending over at the tips, onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the hats with red sugar.Transfer remaining 1/4 uncolored meringue into a clean piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe little white pom-poms onto each hat tip and a small edging of fluffy white trim onto the bottom of each hat.Bake meringue cookies in the preheated oven until hard but not browned, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
