Time 8h15m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 egg whites
⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
⅛ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
¼ teaspoon green food coloring
⅔ cup white sugar
30 milk chocolate candy kisses (such as Hershey's Kisses®)

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Combine egg whites, cream of tartar, salt, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food coloring in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat until soft peaks form.
  • Beat sugar into egg whites one tablespoon at a time. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form, and mixture is glossy and very smooth, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Drop the meringue by half teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheet; top with chocolate kisses. Spoon a scant teaspoon of meringue over chocolate, and smooth to cover completely.
  • Place cookies in the preheated oven; turn oven off. Leave meringues in oven overnight, or until oven has cooled completely.
