About Meringue cookies

Meringue cookies are light, airy confections made primarily from whipped egg whites and sugar, baked at a low temperature until crisp. Originating in Europe, they are believed to have roots in Swiss, French, and Italian cuisines. These cookies are often flavored with vanilla, almond, or citrus and may include a touch of cream of tartar or vinegar to stabilize the whipped egg whites. Meringues are naturally gluten-free, low in fat, and can be enjoyed as a low-calorie treat when consumed in moderation. However, they are high in sugar, which offsets their low-calorie appeal and may not be ideal for those managing blood sugar levels or reducing sugar intake. Their delicate texture and melt-in-the-mouth sweetness make them a popular choice for holiday treats, dessert garnishes, or standalone snacks. Simple and elegant, meringue cookies showcase the magic of transforming basic ingredients into a delightful dessert.
