Chocolate Meringue Cookies Food

MERINGUE COOKIES ("FORGOTTEN KISSES")

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until fluffy but not at all dry. (Be careful not to over beat.) Add the sugar gradually, about 3 tablespoons at a time. When 1/2 of the sugar has been added, add the vanilla extract. Continue beating and adding remaining sugar in batches, until all of the sugar is dissolved and the meringue is very shiny and tight. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Working one teaspoon at a time, push a teaspoonful of meringue from the tip of 1 teaspoon with the back of another teaspoon onto the lined baking sheets, leaving 1-inch of space between cookies. Place baking sheets in the preheated oven and turn the oven off. Leave the cookies (undisturbed) in the oven for at least 2 hours and up to overnight, or until cookies are crisp and dry.

CHOCOLATE MERINGUE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350.
• Grease the cookie sheets, and cover with parchment paper or wax paper.
• (I usually spray the paper with non-stick vegetable spray).
• Melt the chocolate chips over hot water in double boiler.
• If you prefer (and this is the way I prefer doing it), you can melt them in the microwave.
• Start by cooking for 20 seconds.
• Stir and return to the microwave for another 10 seconds.
• Stir again, and repeat the process until all the chips are melted.
• Beat the egg whites until foamy, and then begin gradually adding the sugar while continuing to beat.
• Beat until stiff.
• Then beat in the vanilla and vinegar.
• Gently fold in the chocolate and nuts, if desired.
• Drop the batter, a teaspoon at a time, onto the sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each.
• Bake for 10 minutes or until firm to the touch.
• Remove immediately from sheets.
• Store in airtight container.
• NOTE: Try not to store these for too long.
• Although they will keep, they will dry out a bit and lose that gooeyness inside somewhat, which is what makes them so special.

CHOCOLATE-MERINGUE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Sift 1/4 cup of cocoa over the meringue, and fold so that streaks of cocoa remain.
• Fill a pastry bag fitted with a tip of your choice (we used an Ateco #5 star tip); pipe out cookies in small coils or desired shapes onto baking sheet. Sift remaining cocoa over cookies; bake until cookies lift off parchment easily, about 2 hours.

RON'S GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE MERINGUE COOKIES

Steps:

• Melt the 12 ounces of bittersweet chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe dish or over a gently simmering double-boiler. Let cool but not harden. Add the vanilla.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Place the salt and vinegar (or lemon juice) in a clean mixer bowl for a stand mixer. Use a paper towel to wipe off any possible grease. Use the paper towel to wipe the blades of the whisk attachment as well. Do not rinse. This procedure will ensure that the egg whites will whip to their full potential.
• Beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to high. Slowly add the sugar in a steady stream and continue beating until stiff peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes. (The bowl can be turned upside down without the meringue falling out.) Add a third of the meringue to the melted chocolate and mix well to lighten. Gently but thoroughly fold the melted chocolate into the meringue, and then fold in the remaining two ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate and the walnuts.
• Fill a large resealable plastic bag with the meringue and snip off the bottom corner, or use a pastry bag. Pipe the meringue into 1 1/2-inch rounds 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
• Immediately place in the oven and bake about 10 minutes. The cookies will develop a shiny crust but will still be gooey inside.
• Let rest on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

• Add cocoa powder to egg white mixture slowly, 1/2 tablespoon at a time. Beat on medium power until very smooth and evenly colored.
• Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until each cookie comes off the baking sheet cleanly, 1 to 2 hours.

HARD MERINGUES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275°F (140°C).

CHOCOLATE MERINGUE COOKIES - LOW CALORIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• Line non-stick baking sheets with parchment paper or use the Silpat sheets to prevent the cookies from sticking.
• In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup cocoa and sugar together; set aside.
• In a large bowl using your electric mixer, beat egg whites until foamy.
• While beating, add salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla extract.
• Add the cocoa/sugar mixture, 1 tablespoons at a time, until the egg whites are stiff and glossy.
• Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto non-stick baking sheets.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 teaspoon cocoa and cinnamon.
• Using a sieve or a sifter, sprinkle mixture over the non-baked cookies.
• Bake 90 minutes; turn off the oven, open the door slightly (secure with a wooden spoon), and allow cookies to cool in the oven.
• Remove from oven and store in a tightly covered (airtight) container.

CHOCOLATE CHIP MERINGUE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, beat egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, vanilla and cocoa powder until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until meringue is stiff and glossy (about 90 seconds more after all sugar has been added). Please note that it is important to beat the whites long enough. The cookies will spread and be thinner rather than lofty (as shown in the pic) if poured on the sheet prematurely. You don't want the whites to break (start to get crumbly and break a part) .that will result in failed meringues but you are going to beat these a long time -- sometimes it takes me 5 minutes or more! A stand mixer sure is a plus here. What we are doing is incorporating air into the egg whites. That is what makes these cookies lofty, big and light in texture!
• Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
• On a parchment-lined baking sheet, drop meringue by the 1/4 cup (I like to use an ice cream scoop with a release).
• For chewy cookies with a slightly crispy outer crust: Bake until dry and slightly crispy on outside about 1 hour. Let cool on baking sheets and then remove to an airtight container with sheets of parchment paper in between layers.
• For crispy more traditional meringues, cook until dry and crispy through about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool on baking sheets. Let cool on baking sheets and then remove to an airtight container with sheets of parchment paper in between layers.

CHOCOLATE MERINGUE

Then fold in the cocoa nibs. Spread the chocolate meringue onto a parchment paper lined sheet pan, sprayed with nonstick spray, about 1/4-inch thick.
• Bake for about 1 hour or until the meringue is hard and completely dried out.

CHOCOLATE SWIRLED MERINGUE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
• Using a standing mixer with a whisk attachment (you can also use a hand mixer) beat egg whites on medium speed until egg whites get frothy. Add the cream of tartar and increase the speed to high. Gradually add sugar 1-2 tablespoons at a time and continue to beat egg whites into stiff peaks (the egg whites will hold their shape when turned upside down on a spoon or a whisk) with a glossy appearance. Add extract and beat for one more minute ensuring all the sugar and extract is incorporated.
• Scoop the egg whites onto the baking sheet by rounded spoonfuls ( a very generous tablespoon) , leaving about an inch in between each meringue.
• Heat the chocolate in a microwave safe dish in 30 second intervals until it is fully melted (my microwave takes a minute). Place a small dollop of chocolate on each meringue. Using a toothpick swirl the chocolate into the meringue.
• Bake at 225 degrees for 1 hour. Fully cool on the counter and then gently peel the meringues from the parchment or silicon baking mat. If you don't eat them all in one sitting they should last for 3-4 days in an airtight container.
