Snow Puff Meringues

SNOW PUFF MERINGUES

Makes about 3 dozen

INGREDIENTS

4 Large Egg Whites

½ Tsp Vanilla

¼ Tsp Salt

½ Cup Sugar

1 Cup Confectioners' Sugar

1/3 Cup Nutella

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 225°

Large cookie sheet with parchment paper

In a clean stainless steel or glass bowl beat the eggs until foamy. Slowly add the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt.

Place meringue in a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 1 ½ inch rosettes onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until firm to the touch, 45-50 minutes. Turn off oven, do not open oven door; leave meringues in oven 1 ½ hours. Remove from oven; cool completely on baking sheets.

Remove meringues from parchment. Pipe or spread Nutella onto bottoms of half the cookies; cover with remaining cookies. Store the cookies in an airtight container.  

NOTE: Always read labels carefully
