Tips For Making Snowman Meringue Cookies
- Ensure your egg whites are at room temperature before whipping. This helps in achieving maximum volume.
- When separating eggs, make sure there is no trace of yolk in the whites. Even a small amount of yolk can hinder the meringue’s ability to whip up properly.
- Use clean, dry bowls and utensils. Any grease or moisture can affect the meringue’s texture.
- Add the granulated sugar gradually, one tablespoon at a time, while whipping the egg whites. This helps the sugar dissolve evenly, resulting in a smoother meringue.
- Whip the meringue until stiff peaks form. This means that when you lift the beaters, the meringue should hold its shape and form a stiff peak that doesn’t collapse.
- Be cautious not to over-whip the meringue, as this can lead to a dry and grainy texture. Stop whipping once you achieve stiff peaks.
- Use a 1M open hole tip and a piping bag to make the Snowman Meringue Cookies

- Egg white – from freshly cracked eggs NOT a carton

How To Store Snowman Meringue Cookies
You can store them at room temperature on parchment paper. They are best consumed the same day as time, oxygen, and moisture will quickly alter the texture.
