The ingredients for Orange Meringue Cookies are:

3 egg whites
1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of cream of tarter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp water
1 tsp flavoring (normally vanilla, but I used orange extract)
1 tsp of lemon juice or vinegar (I would have preferred to use lemon, but I didn't have any)

Here is how you make Orange Meringue Cookies:

Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Mix eggs, salt, and cream of tarter in a large bowl and beat until they turn to foam.Mix flavoring, water, and vinegar (or lemon juice) in a separate small bowl. While mixing the first mixture with the beaters, add in the sugar and liquid mix by alternating them. Put 1 Tbsp of sugar in and then a little bit of the mixture and keep alternating them until everything has been added.Continue to beat the mixture until the mixture starts to have a glossy look to it.Put a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spoon out the mixture. I tried to scoop them out into a normal cookie size shape and size. It is also a good idea to put a divot in each cookie with a spoon like you would do to mashed potatoes. This makes it so that the cookie isn't too thick and so it doesn't stay gooey inside.Bake for 60-75 minutes on 225 degrees.Makes 18 3-4 inch meringue cookiesNumber of Servings: 18Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MRS_LUNDT.
