Ingredients

  • 3 egg whites, room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • dark chocolate, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, using the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form.
  • On high speed, add the powdered sugar, one spoonful at a time. Add the peppermint extract. Keep beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  • Using a piping bag and open star tip, pipe swirls/roses onto the prepared baking sheets. You can also use two spoons to dollop the meringue onto the baking sheets. 
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Turn off the heat, crack the oven door, and allow them to cool for 2 hours in the oven.
  • Spread melted dark chocolate on the bottom of one meringue and top it with another meringue.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
