Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites room temperature
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup sifted cocoa powder
- 1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine 4 large egg whites, ½ teaspoon cream of tartar, ⅛ teaspoon salt in a large, completely clean and grease-free bowl.
- Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk or paddle attachment, stir on low speed until the mixture becomes foamy. Increase speed to high and gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir after each addition until sugar is dissolved, about 15-20 seconds between each addition.
- Beat until the mixture is thick, shiny, and has increased in volume. The mixture should have stiff peaks. Using a spatula, fold in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ⅓ cup sifted cocoa powder until completely combined.
- Fit a large disposable piping bag with a large tip (I used a large star tip) and transfer meringue into prepared piping bag. Pipe onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven once the baking time has passed, but do not open the oven door. Leave the oven door closed and allow cookies to cool completely in the oven 1-2 hours before removing.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, place 1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers in a small microwave-safe bowl and melt according to instructions on packaging.
- Once the chocolate has melted, dip the meringues halfway into chocolate then transfer to a cooling rack until chocolate has hardened.
- Meringue cookies should be crisp and can be stored in an airtight container. Keep away from heat and moisture as it can soften your meringues.
