Lemon Meringue Cookies

By ldelmas

Ingredients

• 1 (.3-ounce) package sugar-free lemon gelatin
• 1 cup sugar
• 6 egg whites, room temperature
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. In a small bowl,
combine the lemon gelatin and sugar together.

In a large bowl using your electric mixer, beat
egg whites until foamy. While beating, add salt
and cream of tartar. Add the gelatin/sugar mixture
to the egg whites gradually (a tablespoon at a
time) while beating; beat to stiff peaks.

Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto non-stick
baking sheets or baking sheets that have been
lined with parchment paper. Bake 90 minutes; turn
off the oven, open the door slightly (secure with
a wooden spoon), and allow cookies to cool in the
oven. Remove from oven and store in a tightly
covered (airtight) container.

For variations you can use different gelatin
flavors. Or instead of gelatin try the instant
pudding mixes. Use 2 tablespoons of the dry
pudding mix such as lemon or chocolate. (This
adds 1 calorie and the carbs are 5g.)
