Ingredients
  

3 large egg whites

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons flavored Jello powder (any color/flavor)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.

      Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy (about 5 minutes).

        Gently fold in the Jello powder and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the mixture has a vibrant color. If you choose to add mini chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.

          Using a piping bag or a spoon, dollop or pipe the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie for them to expand a little.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meringues are dry and crisp but not browned.

              Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely, allowing them to dry out further.

                Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes | Servings: About 20 cookies
