Cloud-like Treats: The Sweet and Crispy Magic of Meringue Cookies
Hello everyone welcome to another episode of brother not brother and today’s video I am in the kitchen recently I saw a video from Emmy made talking about these forgotten cookies they’re an older cookie basically though it’s a mering cookie with some mixin and uh I’m going to make those today with you for those watching along here is the.
Recipe if you want to pause that capture it and then on the back of course is just a quick final instruction there you go you can pause that you now have the recipe that I have in emy’s video she references a cookbook that I don’t have and uh so I just went to Pinterest and found a recipe for mering.
Cookies that was almost the exact same as what she did I think the only addition that this one has is just a pinch of salt literally that’s the only difference so um I tried it once so if you see anything over here in this corner just ignore that we’re going to try it again here with a kitchen a to see if we can actually get it done there.
This time it should be a fairly easy process and what I started with is I have a food processor that I put a half a cup of sugar in and then I process that down we don’t want quite powdered sugar but we do want to soften the granules of the sugar so we ran that for a few minutes just to get it to be a little bit more broken down and now.
We’re going to go ahead and start with the easy part of the recipe it’s as easy as two egg whites but I have uh this bottle of liquid eggs from uh another recipe my wife tried where it just called for a ton of egg whites so she just bought this whole thing rather than wasting a whole bunch of egg yolks but honestly you can just separate two yolks.
Out of two eggs uh if you’re going to do it this way all you need is a/4 cup that’s weird I’ve never worked with like eggs egg whites I’ve worked with like scrambled eggs out of a bottle but never worked with egg whites out of one of these bottles and uh I’m going to start by just blending these guys up until.
Until I can start to get them to be foam and then we’ll add in our cream of tartar um tartar tartar tart tartar it’s not tartar sauce it’s tar sauce right oh tar sauce let’s get this blending got to plug it in first all right my egg whites are starting to get a little bit foamy so now we’ll add in that4 Te teaspoon 1/4.
Teaspoon of cream of tartar all right that’s starting to foam up so now we can gradually in add in our powder is sugar should make it a little bit more silky when you do that all right this is about halfway mixed in but I’m going to scrape down these sides.
Cuz I can see it’s not all perfectly mixing in here and don’t put away your food processor just yet I’m going to be using that just a little bit later all right I think we’re there it’s not a stiff peak but it reminds me of like soft serve ice cream where you can stand it up on its.
Own it’s not going to fall away yeah that’s what we want and it is super glossy and silky this is good all right and then this actually made a lot less than I thought it would here um very very little we’re looking at only about here so I see why the recipe on Pinterest was double but at this point we’re just.
Going to fold in the uh whatever mixings you want I love pretzels in my cookies and so I went with some chocolate covered pretzels and that’s what we’re going to use this food processor for one last time we’re going to throw in just a handful of these into our food processor just to break them up a little.
Bit there we go now we got pretzel chunks in pieces all ready to be mixed in not huge just go ahead and sprinkle all that on top and then use a uh spatula that we’ve been using to scrape down the sides to fold it in we don’t want to lose those tiny little micro bubbles that we created in the process but we do want to just mix it in so it.
Looks delicious all right and then last thing to do is to Dish them out onto a tray and throw them in the OV oven I’m going to try the double spoon method here get a spoonful here go here we.
Go all right so with this I was able to make 14 cookies guys look super silky and now all we do is we put them in a 350° oven and then turn off your oven make sure the oven is preheated and then we’ll just go ahead and turn it off and then let it sit overnight and we’ll see.
You guys in the morning all right it has been overnight and it is now time to take our cookies out of the oven see how they turned out ooh they look fluffy all right so the oven was.
Actually still kind of warm they’re uh pretty firm you can make these guys however you want I used a uh oh wow they just lift right up and off and they are absolutely weightless that’s wild um if you don’t have one of these.
Silicone baking sheets you can use like parchment paper but I highly recommend using something like that because if these get stuck to your pan it’s going to be a nightmare to try and get them off let’s go ahead and try one um let’s go ahead and go with this guy looks like it’s got a little bit of chunks of.
Pretzel in there it almost sounds like Styrofoam if we break it open oh it just crumbles absolutely crumbles it reminds me of uh what’s that honeycomb looking one seafoam I think they call it seafoam candy oh that’s nice super.
Airy very light but then it has a bit of a chew kind of like cotton maybe not cotton candy but like when it melts down it kind of makes me think of a um is it a whopper or milk Dud I can never remember which one’s which but uh like you melt it down if you suck on it and you melt it down it kind of.
Turns into a chewy piece and that’s pretty good very crumbly and Flaky it’s wild just how like Airy it is I know that we whipped air into it but it’s got a simple sweetness not a ton of vanilla to it like I mentioned you can make this gluten-free you can.
Make it pretty much safe for most allergies aside from eggs and sugar you can decide whatever mixins you add and the only thing I added were these chocolate covered pretzels which makes it not gluten-free and then I think the packaging says may contain nuts and tree nuts and I was like ah and I was hoping to I I was thinking oh yeah.
It’s going to be gluten-free and no TR nuts and I was like oh wait pretzels have gluten and then the packaging says may contain tree nut nuts and tree nuts and I was like ah bummer so this one’s not safe for allergy uh conscientous children that I know but you can make them however you want for your allergies thank you so much for watching.
