Katary...I'm going to try this as my first trial literally flopped with another recipe! lol  Is the Just Eggwhites at Kroger and is 3Tbs equivalent to 3 egg whites?  I only would need the water if I was using the just eggwhites, correct?

UPDATE:  I just returned from Kroger and purchased the  just egg whites and see the comparison on the side.  So, never mind.  I'll let you know how they turn out.  I can't tolerate the taste of saccharin...using xylitol instead.

Ok they are done and boy did they smell heavenly while cooking.  They are a little gummy like a marshmallow but maybe they will crisp up while cooling?

[A few hours later]....Wow they are airy and crunchy! Wonderful and flavorful!  Love them with the strawberry spread and chocolate.

Thanks!

These little creations are almost TOO good!... Between the sweetness and the crunch, you've gotta be careful! ;)

I watched this last night and wrote it all down.  These look SO good!   I was a little shocked when you said to bake them for "2 hours"..??   If I got that wrong, somebody holler at me.  I am staying with my mom for a couple days.  She had foot surgery, but I will try these when I get back home.   I had been looking for the sugar free meringue cookies at Publix, but they only have the low fat ones.  Thanks Gary!  Love the videos...keep them coming!!!  :D

Hi Jan! :)

Yep!... 2 hours at 225 degrees.

Remember Gary saying you could use any flavor extract you like.
My favorite combo is banana and raspberry (1/2 tsp each)... YUM!!! ;D

You can use fresh egg whites too Jo ;)

Would I leave out the water and use 1 eggwhite per spoonful  of dry egg whites

Hi Jo! :)

That sounds interesting.
I imagine that the finished cookies would be a bit heavier and you'd have to watch them in the oven as they might cook faster.

If you try this, please let us know how they turned out.

Sure Donna!  Here it is....

Carb free meringue cookies

3 Tbsp of powdered "Just Egg Whites"
1/2 cup sweetener (or 1 Tbsp of calorie free liquid sweetener)
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla & butternut extract (or any flavoring you choose)
1/2 cup warm water

Preheat oven to 225
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
In large mixing bowl lightly stir egg white powder into the water and let stand for 2 minutes.
After 2 minutes, mix on medium until dissolved and frothy
Add extract, cream of tartar, & sweetener.
Mix on high until fluffy
Spoon on to parchment paper
Bake at 225 for two hours.
Great with Walden Farms dips.

Yes Jo omit the 1/2 cup water. I bought the just egg white to try them last year. I made a recipe with the dried eggs and the same recipe with fresh egg whites there was no difference. :)
They are nice to have in the cupboard if you run out of eggs. ;)

Actually the just whites is the equivalent to 57 egg whites in one can so comparable in price to buying eggs and you don't have to separate them.  I love them. If you want a more uniformed look use a pastry gun/dessert decorator but don't make them too big or they will take longer to dry out.  The recipe is on the can of just whites. 

1 egg = 2tsp of just whites

Hi all!  After searching 3 different stores and not finding the "Just Whites" I had a flash of brilliance!  They sell an egg protein powder in the supplement area - so after looking, I found one (NOW brand) that is just egg whites, nothing added, no flavor!  It is .9g for 1/4 cup.  I will let you all know how it works for these and probably the angel food cake too.  ;)

I just made my second batch and they were so much more airy this time-whipped a little longer.  I also used a cake decorator press and they turned out so pretty.  Was a little challenge to get them into the tube, though but I did it. lol  It made 72 cookies!

I put 1/2 tsp real vanilla and 1/2 vanilla butternut.  Can't wait to try some other flavors.

Do they taste like those store bought ones that are SF ?
Title: Re: Dynamite home made meringue cookie
Post by: izzet on July 18, 2011, 02:12:57 PM
Hi Joagain....Not at all...I think they are much better but I haven't had any in a long time.  Of course everything is better when you make it  homemade.;)

yes it is izzet that way you get exactly what you want ;) Don't forget you can use extracts to flavor these any flavor you want :)

You can replace the Kroger sweetener with Zero in this recipe :)

Sarah you would like these.You can change the flavors very easily by changing extracts or emulsions. ;) I like chocolate mint
