A wonderfully light, easy, low calorie Christmas treat to make.
Total Time: 2 hours, including cool time
Yield: 5 dozen
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- dash salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4 egg whites, room tempurature
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Steps:
- These are possible without an electric mixer, but so much easier with! Beat the egg whites and salt until soft peaks form (about 3 minutes on high).
- Add in sugars, salt, vanilla and cinnamon a little bit at a time. Beat on high for about 6 minutes or until glossy peaks form.
- Preheat oven to 250 F. Drop by teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets (you'll need 4*) and bake for 50 minutes.
- Turn the oven OFF. Keep the cookies in the oven as it cools, for at least an hour. No peeking! Makes about 5 dozen cookies. Yummy!
*You may want to half the recipe if you don't have enough sheets. These need to bake all in one batch.
