I bet it's been 20 or more years since I made these! They were always a big hit! I can't wait to make them for the grandchildren Thanksgiving day! Thank you for refreshing my memory.😊
I just made these. So easy. I can’t believe how they turned out. The low temp for an hour and the extra drying time with the oven off is perfect. Not too hard or brown on the bottom. I used cherry extract. Yum. Next I think I’m going to try black walnut extract or peanut butter extract. I’m allergic to all nuts so extracts are a good way to get the taste of something without the risk. I didn’t have a large enough star piping tip so I used a regular round one. Maybe next time. They’re great for my mother. She is fighting cancer. These give her a little something sweet without the extra fat. Thanks!
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I made the meringue cookies with your simple recipe and fed them to another human.. HE LOVED THEM! ( I knew before he uttered a word) the first sound out of his mouth when he put the cookie in was "Mmmm" :))
Hi, loved how clear your instructions were! I cooked these right after I saw your vid. They were delicous but super sticky..I had to use foil bc i didnt have parchment. Have u seen this before?
@@jacintateresa3428 You are welcome! :) Also, you may want to leave them in the oven longer than 45 minutes after you turn the oven off. Maybe give it a full hour or more, that may help with the stickiness as well.
Hello, I followed another recipe at it was a disaster. I didn’t know about the getting glossy part so the first time I made styrofoam 😂😂 these are perfect! I added peppermint extract and yummmmmm! Thank you xx
Thank you Matt. Small batch does work better. However, I double the batch. The batter turns to liquid after a while. Why is that? The batter was stiff at peak earlier.
Sounds like a nice way to use the leftover egg whites from making holiday eggnog. I usually have 6 egg whites left over so i assume that will yield a ton of these cookies. Would you recommend increasing the baking time if I make them bigger?
For sure! A great use of those leftover egg whites. It depends on how much bigger you make them, but they may only need 15 to 20 minutes more. At that low temp there is some wiggle room with these.
Dear sir just tried your recipe and it was successful in first try ❤❤❤❤ So so grateful that you shared your knowledge with us.

Thanks! Here is the macaron video czcams.com/video/zSjOeuMhDVI/video.html I have plenty of all those recipes www.youtube.com/@inthekitchenwithmatt/videos
notes 2 large eggs ( whites) whisk (barely) 1/4 tsp cream of tartar whisk 1/2 cup superfine sugar ( spoon at a time) whisk to stiff peaks pipe bake at 200 F for an hour
Hi Ellie, yes or you need to use a very fine sugar. Granulated sugar crystals are too big. For the best results that is. Otherwise just use the sugar as is, but they just won't turn out as nicely. :)
Will it make it different if I don’t use cream of tartar? Because I don’t have it right now. And do I have to use caster sugar or can I use granulated sugar
It is better to use the cream of tartar, gives the egg whites more stability, although it isn't absolutely necessary. If you don't use a fine sugar, it may have a grainy sugar texture and won't be as smooth. If you have a food processor or blender, just blend up your granulated sugar a bit until the sugar crystals get finer, thus becoming caster sugar. :)
In The Kitchen With Matt thank you so much! I’m sorry for asking so many questions but can I use baking powder or baking soda to replace the cream of tartar?
Hello Lynn 200F/93C I did mention it in the video at the 5:09 mark. The link to the full recipe is in the description box which is right under the video if you are viewing it on a computer ir ia super easy to find. If on a mobile you have to hold the phone upright and click the "more" which is next to the view count.
I was scrolling through the comments and every comment I saw he replied he's so sweet I'm gonna make these with my sister today and do they need to be refrigerated
Hi there! Thank you :) No need to refrigerate. Just store them in an airtight container at room temp. I would use a layer of parchment paper in between the layers of cookies. They should last a few weeks that way. :)
Hi again! Is it okay if i possibly mix in vanilla extract with other flavoring extracts or will it cause some issues? I'm curious to see how that will turn out
Try it and see. Max you keep commenting on most of my videos asking about other recipes. There ARE MANY recipes for the same thing. Just pick one and make it, haha. But if you want it to turn out like mine, then you need to follow my recipe for that particular thing.
@@maxduong4537 Yes that is exactly what I said. If you see that I do it one way in my videos/recipes and then you see someone else do it a different way, both ways are fine. Try them both or one or the other.
Hi! I used lemon instead of tartar and I think I put too much? It's really foamy and liquidy haha... I can't tell if I put the sugar at the wrong timing and the sugar measurements are confusing because I'm horrible at measuring. Is there a way to make it creamy like yours? Mine always turns out foamy
You need to keep mixing it, it sounds like. It will be foamy at the beginning. It takes quite awhile 5 to 10 minutes of mixing to get it nice and creamy.
Hi Duncan, they are listed in the description under the video. :) Also there is a link to the full recipe on my website as well. 200 F/93 C for the oven.
Hi Barb! While I haven't tried it, this blog talks about using Swerve. :) alldayidreamaboutfood.com/shannons-sugar-free-meringues-low-carb-and-gluten-free/
I tried my best to follow your recipe with the meringues I made today, and the texture turned out great, but they taste like raw powdered sugar and I'm not sure how to fix that. Any ideas?
Hi I’m asking if I put it in the oven does I have to let the upper fire flame on or only the bottom ? And if it’s smells stinky what should I add to it to avoid it’s bad smells by the way I add liquid fine vanilla extract?
You will just need to try both. I recommend only the bottom, but I don't have a gas oven, I have an electric, the bake setting only turns on the bottom heating element. If it smells stinky you probably have leftover food or something in the oven, when was the last time you cleaned the oven?
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thank you Mr Matt I did it last night and it’s Was bright white and delicious even I meant the bad smell comes from the cookie itself not the oven a smell like the egg white but when I let it dry about one whole night the smell decreased and now its.delicious and The smell disappeared
It sounds like either the oven was too hot, or the egg whites were beaten at high speed. Just medium or medium high, not the highest setting on the mixer. What temp did you use to bake them at?
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I baked it at the lowest temperature but alternated the speed from high to low many times. That must be the reason for my epic fail. But thank u so much for answering. Next time I will keep the speed to medium.

i have stove oven... so can i make this??? I've tried yesterday but it was all spoiled...tooo much soft sticky or also brown in color..... will you please help me?
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Thank you ! ive tried them today and it came out PERFECT ! i just didnt have a piping bag so i used a ziploc and just made little drops ! over all can you make a vid of doing this without cream of tartar ?
@@rubiaszn Glad you made them! You can just leave it out, the process will be exactly the same. The cream of tartar stabilizes the egg whites, so it is not recommended to leave it out. a tiny bit of lemon juice or vinegar can be used as well.
Are you using F or C. It is possible you oven is running hotter than it actually is set at. Lower the temp a little bit. Also, you may be cooking them too long.
Usually they are around 30 grams for 1 large egg white, but that varies a little bit since each large egg, can vary in size a little. But the small variance doesn't matter for this recipe. :)
Generally that is best, because it produces the best meringue. Although I have made it with egg whites from eggs that came right out of the fridge. If you forget to take the eggs out, you can always take a bowl of warm water and put the eggs in there to get them to room temp quicker.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt yeah I just tried with aluminum foil instead and it turned brown and a bit of liquid was at the bottom 😬 learned my lesson. Thank you for making such awesome video btw!
There is no exact time, it takes as long as it needs to, to get to stiff peaks, the time will vary. Follow the instructions on the website it my be clearer instructions. inthekitchenwithmatt.com/easy-meringue-cookies
Very used in the Mediterranean pastry (merengue / meringue). It's believed to have been invented in Meiringen, Switzerland, where I have spent many summers round about that town. If you mix the meringue with some nuts before baking it you'll get a better one ;) Another funny fact for football (soccer) lovers, is that the Real Madrid team is called the Merengue Team because of the white color.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I have a little town house in Spain's next-hightest town above-sea-level (1500m - about 5000 feet) called Capileira in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and they make "Soplillos" which are meringue with almonds. You could maybe try make those one day :) It's on Jim Morrison's lost video recordings, but it's said that he visited the town and ate some of them on his way to Alhambra, before crossing Fuengirola where I live, and then to Tanger via Gibraltar (1 hour car from here). Maybe someday those tapes will be found :)
@@platterhof That is awesome! Yes I will definitely try them sometime. I love almonds. I grew up going to the Sierra Nevada mountains...but the ones in California/Nevada! haha :)
@@platterhof Yep, but in the state of California and Nevada here in the United States the mountain range is actually called "Sierra Nevadas" Or sometimes we just call it the Sierras for short. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thanks for the recipe. We tried it. It can out so good. However lol I had to improvise with my piping bag (clear grocery bag) and we add food coloring.
Mmm that is very weird. What are you using to put it on the tray? Although that shouldn't matter you should be able to just scoop it with a spoon even. Did you use cream of tartar? If not, that will definitely help.
My sisters and I made them with Grandma 50 yrs ago. We called them Angel Kisses. Now you got me hankerin' for some.I went to compare your recipe with the one I had but... GOOGLE DOCS ATE IT! They're so good but not very substantial. Just a little crunch then they melt into nothing.
That is awesome!! Hahaha I know what you mean! A little crunch then a marshmallow-like taste and then they dissolve. They remind me of a big marshmallow from lucky charms haha. My guess is her recipe was super similar, there's not a whole lot to change when it comes to meringues. haha
Tried this recipe and find the time for drying 35-40 minutes is not nearly enough for the middle to become airy. It must be at least 2 hours. With shorter time, the middle collapses in your mouth and becomes a piece of hard candy, sweet but unpleasant, feels glassy.
How many times did you try the recipe? once? Yes that time is enough, I have made this many times. Most likely you did something wrong, or your oven is not calibrated correctly. Either way, every oven is different, sometimes you need to adjust according to your oven. For mine, that time is plenty.
Bake them for 1 hour. After the hour is done, turn off the oven and allow them to cool slowly inside the oven for 30 to 45 minutes. Do not open the oven this may cause them to collapse.
In The Kitchen With Matt thank u for the quick respond but I think it was the sugar what I did is put more sugar after it being set so i think the sugar got it brown the sugar melted
I gotta tell you after a literal hour of whipping the (insert your favorite cuss word/euphemism here) out of this meringue with minor pauses to ponder my life decisions and rewatch this video the more I hear “if I can do it you can do it!” The more I hate meringue 😒 that’s it back to crap I know 🤦🏻♀️
Did you use a mixer like I did in the video? It won't take an hour to whip the egg whites, less than 10 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer. I didn't do it by hand with a whisk in the video. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt yes, I watched some others and I think I messed up in the following ways (which likely matter more cause I’m also high altitude) my eggs were not room temp when I started, I didn’t whip the egg whites enough, had just a tiny bit of yolk which apparently isn’t okay at all for these, and I added the sugar too soon. Second attempt I also weighed the whites to sugar for a 1-2 ratio and between all of that they did work. (Pipping bag managed to explode halfway through but got the ones I needed for the project I was working on so overall still a win just….not “super simple” lol thanks for checking!
They're kind of airy but oh so good! I'd forgotten about these, so thanks for reminding me cuz they're super easy to make!
You are so very welcome! :)

Hello great recipie but what can we use that will work like the cream of tartar
Use a tiny bit of lemon juice. :) You can also use baking powder. Just do a straight swap for the quantity.

is it necessary to put the granulated sugar in a food processor?
Hi Ellie, yes or you need to use a very fine sugar. Granulated sugar crystals are too big. For the best results that is. Otherwise just use the sugar as is, but they just won't turn out as nicely. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thank you! ill get some fine sugar when i can.
@@ellie5273 You are welcome! :)
But in the ovon do u put the heat from the top or bottom
It depends on your oven. Does yours have a "Bake" setting? If not, put the heat form the bottom.
Will it make it different if I don’t use cream of tartar? Because I don’t have it right now. And do I have to use caster sugar or can I use granulated sugar
It is better to use the cream of tartar, gives the egg whites more stability, although it isn't absolutely necessary. If you don't use a fine sugar, it may have a grainy sugar texture and won't be as smooth. If you have a food processor or blender, just blend up your granulated sugar a bit until the sugar crystals get finer, thus becoming caster sugar. :)

Generally that is best, because it produces the best meringue. Although I have made it with egg whites from eggs that came right out of the fridge. If you forget to take the eggs out, you can always take a bowl of warm water and put the eggs in there to get them to room temp quicker.
Do you Have to use parchment paper?
You can use a silicone baking mat instead of parchment paper.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt yeah I just tried with aluminum foil instead and it turned brown and a bit of liquid was at the bottom 😬 learned my lesson. Thank you for making such awesome video btw!
@@jl8805 Ahh! Yeah definitely try parchment paper or a silicone mat next time if you can. :) And you are so very welcome!
200F/95 mean preheat 200up 200down and bake 95min right Mr. Matt?
No, 200F/95C means 200 Fahrenheit or 95 Celsius. I was just telling you what the temperature is in both F and C.
So what if you want it to be crunchy on the inside too?
You need to bake it a little longer, you can also poke holes with a toothpick to allow hot air inside. But not until later on in the baking process.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Ahhh thank you so much!!
@@keleptodragon602 You are very welcome!
How many minutes i need to whip ?
There is no exact time, it takes as long as it needs to, to get to stiff peaks, the time will vary. Follow the instructions on the website it my be clearer instructions. inthekitchenwithmatt.com/easy-meringue-cookies
After 20mins still ntg happen
Very used in the Mediterranean pastry (merengue / meringue). It's believed to have been invented in Meiringen, Switzerland, where I have spent many summers round about that town. If you mix the meringue with some nuts before baking it you'll get a better one ;) Another funny fact for football (soccer) lovers, is that the Real Madrid team is called the Merengue Team because of the white color.
That is awesome! :) :) Yeah I read somewhere that the Swiss, Italians, and French all debate who invented it. lol
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I have a little town house in Spain's next-hightest town above-sea-level (1500m - about 5000 feet) called Capileira in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and they make "Soplillos" which are meringue with almonds. You could maybe try make those one day :) It's on Jim Morrison's lost video recordings, but it's said that he visited the town and ate some of them on his way to Alhambra, before crossing Fuengirola where I live, and then to Tanger via Gibraltar (1 hour car from here). Maybe someday those tapes will be found :)
@@platterhof That is awesome! Yes I will definitely try them sometime. I love almonds. I grew up going to the Sierra Nevada mountains...but the ones in California/Nevada! haha :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt Sierra Nevada means Snowed Mountains :P
@@platterhof Yep, but in the state of California and Nevada here in the United States the mountain range is actually called "Sierra Nevadas" Or sometimes we just call it the Sierras for short. :)
What is the oven degree?
200 F I mention it at 5:09 in the video
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thanks for the recipe. We tried it. It can out so good. However lol I had to improvise with my piping bag (clear grocery bag) and we add food coloring.
@@Roenjr247 Nice! Great improvisation as well.
How is the temperature
200 F/93 C It is mentioned at 5:08 in the video.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt thanks a lot
@@paulinearnaiz9330 You are welcome!
What is superfine sugar? I heard it first time in my life
It is also called caster sugar. It is really just white granulated sugar with smaller crystals. :)
can you also use powdered sugar?
No matter how much I whisk my Meringue stays in the bowl when I flip it upside down but when I put it on the tray it kind of didn’t hold it shape
Mmm that is very weird. What are you using to put it on the tray? Although that shouldn't matter you should be able to just scoop it with a spoon even. Did you use cream of tartar? If not, that will definitely help.
Did I miss the temp. Or do I just set them in oven🤔
Yes you definitely missed the temp, haha. 5:09 in the video. 200 F/95 C
My sisters and I made them with Grandma 50 yrs ago. We called them Angel Kisses. Now you got me hankerin' for some.I went to compare your recipe with the one I had but... GOOGLE DOCS ATE IT! They're so good but not very substantial. Just a little crunch then they melt into nothing.
That is awesome!! Hahaha I know what you mean! A little crunch then a marshmallow-like taste and then they dissolve. They remind me of a big marshmallow from lucky charms haha. My guess is her recipe was super similar, there's not a whole lot to change when it comes to meringues. haha
Are they safe for kids
Yep they are safe for kids. But always have adult supervision when baking :) Do you mean safe to eat or safe to make? Either way they are safe.
Mine taste eggy idk if I did this right what do to suppose to taste like???
Did you only use the whites? They shouldn't taste eggy, they should taste kind of like marshmallows.
@@inthekitchenwithmatt yep I used only egg whites
@@mikywinfield255 Did you add vanilla extract?
@@inthekitchenwithmatt I believe so
@@mikywinfield255 mmm, then I don't know why it would taste eggy.
Tried this recipe and find the time for drying 35-40 minutes is not nearly enough for the middle to become airy. It must be at least 2 hours. With shorter time, the middle collapses in your mouth and becomes a piece of hard candy, sweet but unpleasant, feels glassy.
How many times did you try the recipe? once? Yes that time is enough, I have made this many times. Most likely you did something wrong, or your oven is not calibrated correctly. Either way, every oven is different, sometimes you need to adjust according to your oven. For mine, that time is plenty.
how many minutes ???0
Bake them for 1 hour. After the hour is done, turn off the oven and allow them to cool slowly inside the oven for 30 to 45 minutes. Do not open the oven this may cause them to collapse.
Mine got brown
Sorry to hear that, sounds like you baked them too long
In The Kitchen With Matt thank u for the quick respond but I think it was the sugar what I did is put more sugar after it being set so i think the sugar got it brown the sugar melted
@@djmbpls1645 Yes that would have done it. :)
In The Kitchen With Matt ok thanks but there still pretty good
Hi mat I watched a CZcams vid but the it didn’t work and then I remembered u thnx
You are welcome!
It tastes like a marshmallow
Yep it does! :) Marshmallows are made kind of like this. :)
I gotta tell you after a literal hour of whipping the (insert your favorite cuss word/euphemism here) out of this meringue with minor pauses to ponder my life decisions and rewatch this video the more I hear “if I can do it you can do it!” The more I hate meringue 😒 that’s it back to crap I know 🤦🏻♀️
Did you use a mixer like I did in the video? It won't take an hour to whip the egg whites, less than 10 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer. I didn't do it by hand with a whisk in the video. :)
@@inthekitchenwithmatt yes, I watched some others and I think I messed up in the following ways (which likely matter more cause I’m also high altitude) my eggs were not room temp when I started, I didn’t whip the egg whites enough, had just a tiny bit of yolk which apparently isn’t okay at all for these, and I added the sugar too soon. Second attempt I also weighed the whites to sugar for a 1-2 ratio and between all of that they did work. (Pipping bag managed to explode halfway through but got the ones I needed for the project I was working on so overall still a win just….not “super simple” lol thanks for checking!
@@kristibunny1620 lol :) You are welcome! Glad you got the ones you needed.
doesn’t work for me
What doesn't work? Describe what happened, and maybe I can figure out what went wrong.
