JELLO MERINGUES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
• Beat the egg whites with the salt until frothy in a large bowl.
• Add the Jello and sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Next, add the vinegar and mix gently. If you are adding mini chocolate chips, gently stir them in.
• Spoon or pipe the egg mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
• Bake for 30 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR. Turn the oven off and allow the meringues to remain in the oven for an additional 20-30 minutes.
• Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely.

RASPBERRY MERINGUE COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250º.
• Beat egg whites with salt.
• Add gelatin and sugar gradually; beat until soft peaks form and sugar is dissolved.
• Beat in vinegar.
• Fold in white chocolate chips. (I actually prefer not to use these -- but my husband likes it with them)
• Drop one teaspoons worth of meringue onto an un-greased cookie sheet lined with parchment or brown paper. [If you make them too big, they won't cook all of the way through. Also, I have found that it works best if you use a non-stick cookie sheet.].
• Bake 25 minutes. Turn oven off and leave the cookies in the oven 20 minutes longer.

MILE HIGH LEMON PIE (JELLO EASY)

Steps:

• 1. MAKE PIE CRUST or use frozen/refrigerated. Cut shortening into flour in a large bowl until it looks like coarse crumbs. beat an egg, and pour over crumbs. Add water, vinegar and salt and stir gently to combine. Divide into 3 equal balls and flatten into discs. Wrap well with plastic wrap and freeze 2 for future use. Freeze one for 20 minutes, then roll out, line pie plate and flute the edges.
• 2. BLIND BAKE. Lay a sheet of parchment paper or foil(sprayed the surface that touches the crust with non stick spray) over crust-and fill with dry beans, rice or pie weights. Bake @ 425 for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, lower heat to 375. Remove the parchment/foil and weights. Moisture proof the crust by applying egg wash with a pastry brush on the bottom of the crust and about an inch up the sides. Resume baking the crust for 5-7 minutes until light golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• 3. MAKE MERINGUE (It needs to be ready as soon as the shell is filled) If you haven't separated your eggs, do so at this time, placing the whites in a CLEAN mixing bowl and the yolks in a medium saucepan. With CLEAN BEATERS begin to mix the egg whites on medium high. Beat to soft peak stage-to check from time to time-turn off mixer and lift some whites up with the beaters, the tip should softly flop over. Begin slowly sprinkling sugar a spoonfull at a time, while beating constantly, until all sugar is incorporated. Continue beating until sugar is dissolved(not gritty when tested with thumb and forefinger) And stiff peaks are formed. Set aside. Preheat oven to 325.
• 4. PREPARE FILLING Empty pudding mix in the saucepan with yolks, add 3/4c sugar and whisk to incorporate, adding water a little at a time to avoid lumps. When all water is incorporated, place pan over medium to medium high heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook until thickened and mixture reaches a full boil. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and zest.
• 5. Pour immediately into prepared pie shell.
• 6. Immedately spoon or pipe meringue mixture over hot filling, completely sealing to the crust and swirl as desired. Bake @ 325 for 15-20 minutes until tips of meringue are golden. Cool to room temperature or chill before serving.

PINK COOKIES - MERINGUE JELLO COOKIES

Steps:

• Carefully seperate egg whites from yolks - ANY yolk left in the egg whites and you will not be able to make the meringue!
• In a clean dry bowl whip egg whites, white vinegar and salt until stiff (but not dry!).
• Add in sugar and jello powder (Traditionally we use Red Jello - such as raspberry or Cherry -- ).
• Fold in chocolate chips
• On buttered cookie sheet, drop spoonfuls of meringue - I do smaller, bite sized cookies.
• Bake on a buttered cookie sheet for 30 minutes at 250* then turn off the oven and let them sit there over night.
• Do not peek or open the oven! They will turn out soft and chewy!
• Preparation time is to make the meringue - Cooking time is total time to make!
