December is one of my favorite months of the year. I usually find myself in the kitchen baking holiday cookies to send out to friends and family to say how I appreciate them all for their support throughout the year. I love to make icebox cookies, peppermint cookies, wedding tea cookies, and all kinds that you can imagine to see during Christmas time. I am rotating each year to bake all of those cookies to send out. One type of the cookies that always maintain in my holiday cookies box is the Meringue!
Meringue is simple and easy to make using only 4 ingredients. You can also mix and match with all different flavors, spices, sprinkles, and dry fruit to make them special and to fit into any occasion. For this year I would like to make the meringue as the christmas tree shape, with those christmas holiday sprinkles adding it on to make it cute and whimsical. These little meringues are very festive for the holiday season! This Holiday Peppermint Christmas Tree Meringue Cookies recipe produces light, airy, delicious, and sweet with a slight crispy exterior that melts in your mouth meringues. They are shaped into Christmas trees then decorated with stars and pearl sprinkles to resemble a festive Christmas trees. Notes for this recipe: Making a meringue is all about the volume. *You have to make sure you clean out all of your equipment to ensure there is absolutely no grease! Otherwise, you won't have the tall peaks and glossy meringue that you want. I cleaned out my bowl with lemon or lime then wipe it with a paper towel before I started to put the egg whites in. **Make sure your egg white is completely free from egg yolk as ANY yolk will not allow your meringue to reach its maximum height ***Cream of tartar is what helps create the pure white color in these meringues. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas! As always, thank you for visiting my site and reading my article, Natty

"You love someone, you open yourself up to suffering, that's the sad truth. Maybe they'll break your heart, maybe you'll break their heart and never be able to look at yourself in the same way. Those are the risks. That's the burden.Like wings, they have weight, we feel that weight on our backs, but they are a burden that lifts us. Burdens which allow us" Bones Don't wait for the perfect moment,take the moment and make it perfect. - Zoey Sayward- Archives
