Easy Recipe for Making Crackers Meringue Cookies
Today, I’ve made some sweet and crispy meringue cookies using everyone’s favorite crackers, Crackers! They are surprisingly simple to make, making them a great activity to do with kids. The savory hint from the crackers harmonizes beautifully with the sweetness of the meringue, offering a unique and delightful taste experience!
Meringue Cookie Ingredients- 70g egg whites (approx. 2 egg whites)
- 70g granulated sugar
- 24 Crackers biscuits
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully separate the egg whites into a clean bowl. Ensure no yolk gets mixed in, as this is crucial for achieving stiff peaks. Make sure the bowl and any utensils are completely free of grease or water.
Step 2
Begin whipping the egg whites with a hand mixer or whisk. Start on a medium-low speed until a gentle foam forms, resembling beer foam. This initial stage helps to break down the egg whites.
Step 3
Gradually add the sugar in 2-3 additions while whipping on high speed. Continue whipping until the sugar is completely dissolved and the meringue forms stiff, glossy peaks. When you lift the whisk, the meringue should stand straight up without drooping. This is key for crisp meringue cookies.
Step 4
Fit a piping bag with a round or star tip and fill it with the meringue mixture. Secure the opening of the piping bag to prevent the meringue from leaking out. Using a tip will create beautiful shapes, making the cookies even more appealing.
Step 5
Pipe the meringue onto the Crackers biscuits. You can pipe a generous amount to cover the cracker, or create a more decorative swirl. Feel free to get creative with your designs!
Step 6
Bake in a preheated oven at 110°C (230°F) for approximately 1 hour, or until the meringues are completely dry and crisp. Avoid opening the oven door frequently during baking. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning. Let them cool completely before enjoying.
