Wintergreen Meringue Cookies

Wintergreen Meringue Cookies
Makes about 48

Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh wintergreen berries
  • 4 egg whites, room temperature
  •  ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup sugar

Directions
  1. In a food processor, chop the wintergreen berries into a coarse paste, scraping down the sides of the processor bowl.  You will end up with about 4 tablespoons of a dry paste.
  2. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit
  3. In a mixer bowl, whip the egg whites until foamy Add the cream of tartar, and then continue to whip to soft peaks
  4. Slowly add the sugar, and mix the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.  With a whisk, mix in the wintergreen berry puree by hand, trying not to deflate the whipped egg whites
  5. Using a large star tip, pipe out the meringue into rosettes, leaving about ½” between each meringue.  Bake for 3 hours until dry and crisp.  Store the meringues in an airtight container.
