Cotton Candy Meringues

Cookies are one of my all time favorite desserts. I love making up a batch up these. They are light, crisp and melt in your mouth. Best of all, they are practically calorie free. Use food coloring to make these little treats any color you want to match the season (pink for spring, orange for halloween, etc).

Time: 2 hours
Yield ~60 small cookies


  • 6 egg whites
  • 1/8 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1 cup splenda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp. strawberry extract
  • Food coloring, if desired

  1. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Pre-heat over to 200 degrees.
  2. Combine the egg whites, lemon juice, and cream of tartar. Beat until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes or so).
  3. Gradually beat in sugar substitute, 1/4 cup at a time.
  4. Gently fold in salt, strawberry extract, and food coloring.
  5. Gently spoon mixture into a large zip lock bag. Cut one corning off, making it into a pastry bag. 
  6. Pipe cookies onto cookie sheet, about 1 1/2 inches wide.
  7. Bake at 200 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
  8. Allow to cool completely. Makes ~60 cookies. Serve plain or with light whipped topping.
