BOO-Ringues
Description
BOO-Ringues utilize egg whites whipped with sugar and vanilla to create a meringue batter with stiff, glossy peaks. The mixture is piped onto parchment-lined cookie sheets in ghost shapes before baking slowly at 250°F to develop a dry, crisp texture without browning. This slow baking ensures a delicate crunch while keeping the inside slightly moist. After cooling, black icing accents such as eyes and mouths bring the ghost shapes to life. These meringues are a sweet treat with a light, airy quality due to their whipped egg white base.
The subtle vanilla flavor complements the sweetness, and the cookies offer a crisp snap that contrasts with their creamy frosting details. They can be served as themed snacks or party desserts, especially suited for Halloween gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 egg white
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- black icing or frosting
Instructions
- Separate egg whites from yolks and add to a medium sized bowl. Let them sit out on counter to come up to room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
- Heat oven to 250° and cover un-greased cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat egg whites with a hand mixerr on medium to high until stiff, moist peaks form. Slowly beat in sugar just a 1/4 cup at a time then fold in vanilla. Continue to beat mixture a few more minutes, ensure that it reamins glossy and does not become grainy.
- Fill a pasty bag with mixture and add a medium sized round tip (or just cut the edge off of the tip of a large freezer bag). Pipe medium to large circular, ghost shaped, mounds onto cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake 30-35 minutes.
- Dip a toothpick into some black icing / frosting and add eyes, mouth, and any other 'scary' features to your ghosts!
