Light, crisp meringue cookies bursting with fruity flavor and pastel color from flavored gelatin. Perfect for celebrations or a fun homemade treat. Naturally gluten-free and easy to store.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 small box (3 oz) Jello powder (choose your favorite flavor, e.g., strawberry, lemon, lime)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • Optional toppings: sprinkles, edible glitter, or colored sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Sprinkle in the Jello powder and continue beating until fully combined and vibrant in color.
  5. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag with a star tip or use a spoon to form small mounds on the baking sheets. Space them about 1 inch apart.
  6. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the cookies are completely dry to the touch. Turn off the oven and let the cookies cool inside for at least 1 hour.
  7. Remove from the oven, transfer to an airtight container, and enjoy!

Notes

Customization: Mix and match Jello flavors for unique color and flavor combinations., Storage: Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, with parchment paper between layers, or freeze for up to 1 month, thawing at room temperature before serving., Tips for Success: Use clean, grease-free tools; add sugar slowly; check for stiff peaks; cool gradually in the oven to prevent cracks.
