Peppermint Melt Away Cookies Recipe

  • Posted on January 25, 2021 at 12:33 am

Unlike most recipe websites, I won’t make you sit through a long story before we get to the point. Let’s just get to it 🙂

Ingredients
8 room temperature egg whites
A half a teaspoon of cream of tartar
A quarter teaspoon of salt
1 cup of granulated sugar
2 cups of powdered sugar
A teaspoon of vanilla extract
A teaspoon of peppermint extract
And some red food coloring

Instructions
So to start you’ll preheat your oven to 250.
Get a baking sheet and line it with foil.

Then combine the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt and beat with an electric mixer until foamy.
In a separate bowl, mix the granulated and powdered sugar. Then add the sugar to the egg mixture a little at a time while continuing to beat them. Then you add the vanilla and peppermint extract and beat for about 10 minutes.

Swirl in some of the red food coloring so it has the streaks of red you expect when seeing something peppermint. Then spoon dollops of the mix onto the baking sheet and bake for 1 hour but wait! Don’t take it out of the oven. Don’t even open the oven door. Just use your oven light to make sure they’re cream colored. If they are, turn off the oven and leave them there over night. Yes. These cookies gotta get their beauty sleep!

The next day you’ll either have a batch of cookies ready for later that day or the weirdest breakfast ever.
