Get that light-as-air texture without the guesswork. Meringue cookies are notoriously finicky, but Modern Mountain Meringue Powder makes them simple: crisp on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth inside, and ready to impress. Just two ingredients stand between you and the batch you've been chasing.

Directions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix powder and water for 1 minute at low speed using a wire whisk attachment.

  2. Insert into piping bag with rosette tip. Pipe onto parchment-lined baking sheet.

  3. Bake at 225° for 2 hours. Without opening door, turn off oven and let cookies sit for ~2 hours (or up to overnight) until they are cool and dry. If still chewy, keep in oven until cookies are light, firm, and melt in your mouth.
