How to make how to make lemon meringue cookies
Sugar Free Lemon Meringue Cookies, a simple and delicious lemon flavored cookie recipe made with no added sugar. Keto, low carb, gluten free.
Servings: 36
Ingredients
- 2 Egg Whites
- ¼ tsp Cream of Tartar
- ½ cups Sugar Alternative - see post for details.
- 1 tsp Lemon Zest
- ½ tsp Pure Lemon Extract
- Yellow Gel Food Coloring
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 275 line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or a baking mat.
- In a stand mixer outfitted with a paddle attachment, beat the egg whites on medium-low until 'frothy' (about 30 seconds). Then add the cream of tartar to the bowl and continue mixing.
- Slowly add the sugar alternative to the mixing bowl (about a tablespoon at a time).
- Continue to beat the ingredients until stiff peaks form (can take a while to do so). The batter should appear to be stiff enough to hold its own if it were to be dropped.
- Once the meringue holds stiff peaks, add the lemon zest, lemon extract and food coloring and then mix just until combined (about 15 seconds) on low speed.
- Carefully fill the bag with meringue, trying not to smudge your food coloring lines as much as possible. Pipe one inch meringues on to the prepared baking sheet, making sure to pipe them at least an inch apart.
- Bake the meringues for 50-55 minutes or until they are dry and crisp. Then, leave the oven door closed, turn off the oven (use the oven light to check on the cookies) and allow the cookies to set and to get to room temperature.
- After removing the cooled cookies from the oven, transfer them to an airtight container for storing.
