A Sweet Treat: Using Leftover Egg Whites

SHORT AND SWEET!

I was making lemon curd, and had a ton of egg whites leftover. I racked my brain regarding what I could do with my egg whites and headed to the Google. Meringues!!!! This was my first try at meringue cookies and it was surprisingly easy. Wait?! Did I say easy? Relatively easy, because for some odd reason I decided to whip egg whites by hand. I honestly don’t knwo what I was thinking but my wrist was struggling, it was downright painful. Never again will I do that, but I will definetly make these again. Especially because they were a perfect sweet treat for a guest we had who is lactose intollerant.

The recipe comes from Sugar Spun Run and is a keeper. I added a little almond extract to mine, and in the future would love to try lemon extract.

Have fun and happy baking. Remember, it doesn’t have to look perfect as long as it tastes divine.
