Directions
Betty’s Easy Meringue Cookies 2 Ingredients, Betty was a family friend of my husband’s Grandfather and this is her recipe. My DH loved these as a child., I added a bit of vanilla to the recipe and it turned out great!! Took me 45 mins to cook, and the centre was still a bit gooey, but I like the gooey bits. They were delish!!, Fresher eggs will stiffen up a lot easier than older ones, try the float test first! I only had 1 extra egg white from another recipe, so I decided to try just one third of this recipe and I couldn’t be happier! I’m glad I read the other reviews, because it definitely took much longer than 30min, granted I wasn’t able to make them small enough to be teaspoon amounts but I didn’t need to change the temperature or anything. When I realized they were still soft, I put the batch back in and I would take one out and stick it in the freezer for a bit to see if it was going to set when cool, while the rest stayed in the oven.. and eventually ended up with perfect results! Do have patience! Mine got less shiny when they were ready to be taken out so I think that’s a good indication to start checking. Once they cooled I stuck them in a jar with a lid and have been snacking on them since yesterday, the texture is amazingly crispy but not too hard, and the sound they make clinking around in the jar is just lovely. I did add just a splash of vanilla extract into the egg before whipping to give it that marshmallowy taste, but next time I’ll try lemon or another extract.. I’m definitely going to remember this every time I have extra egg whites. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
