Meringue cookies are light, airy confections made primarily from egg whites and sugar, often with a touch of vanilla or cream of tartar for stability. Originating from European cuisines, these delicate treats are especially popular in French and Swiss baking traditions. With a crisp exterior and melt-in-your-mouth texture, meringue cookies are naturally fat-free due to their egg white base. They are low in calories but high in sugar, making them a sweet indulgence best enjoyed in moderation. Some variations include add-ins like cocoa powder or finely chopped nuts, which can affect the nutritional profile. While they don’t provide significant nutrients, their simplicity and fat-free quality may suit low-fat diets when consumed sparingly. However, meringue cookies are not ideal for individuals monitoring sugar intake or those on a high-protein diet.
