15 Meringue Christmas Cookie Recipes (Light & Crunchy)

Classic Vanilla Meringue Cookies

Classic Vanilla Meringue Cookies are light, crispy, and melt-in-your-mouth treats that are perfect for the holiday season. These airy cookies are made from whipped egg whites and sugar, creating a delightful texture that is both sweet and elegant. With just a hint of vanilla, they make an excellent addition to any festive dessert platter.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 225°F (107°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the meringue from sticking.
2. Prepare the Egg Whites: In a clean mixing bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites as this can prevent them from whipping properly.
3. Whip the Egg Whites: Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they become frothy. This typically takes about 1-2 minutes.
4. Add Cream of Tartar and Salt: Once frothy, add the cream of tartar and a pinch of salt. Continue to beat the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
5. Incorporate Sugar Gradually: Gradually add the granulated sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. Once all the sugar is added, increase the mixer speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
6. Mix in Vanilla Extract: Add the vanilla extract to the whipped egg whites and gently fold it in using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the meringue.
7. Pipe or Spoon Meringue: Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip or a simple spoon, dollop or pipe the meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
8. Bake the Meringues: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 1.5 hours or until the meringues are dry to the touch and can easily lift off the parchment without sticking. They should not be browned.
9. Cool Meringues: Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely for about an hour. This will help them become crisp.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, gently remove the meringue cookies from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container. Enjoy these delightful treats as part of your holiday celebrations!

Chocolate Swirled Meringue Drops

Chocolate Swirled Meringue Drops are a delightful twist on traditional meringue cookies, combining the airy, crisp texture of meringue with rich chocolate. These elegant treats are perfect for holiday gatherings or as a sweet surprise to serve with coffee or tea. The beautiful chocolate swirls add a touch of sophistication and visual appeal, making them a must-try for any dessert lover.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 225°F (107°C). Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
2. Separate the Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Make sure no yolks or grease get into the egg whites, as this can hinder the whipping process.
3. Whip the Egg Whites: Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until they become frothy—this should take about 1-2 minutes.
4. Add Cream of Tartar and Salt: Once the egg whites are frothy, add the cream of tartar and a pinch of salt. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat until soft peaks form, approximately 2-3 minutes.
5. Gradually Add Sugar: Slowly incorporate the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites. After all the sugar has been added, switch to high speed and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
6. Mix in Cocoa Powder and Vanilla: Gently fold in the unsweetened cocoa powder and vanilla extract with a spatula, guaranteeing not to deflate the meringue. Mix until the cocoa is well incorporated, creating a chocolate meringue base.
7. Create Swirls: To create the chocolate swirl effect, divide the meringue mixture into two bowls. In one, add a few additional tablespoons of cocoa powder (if desired) for a richer flavor and color. Using a spatula, gently fold a few times to create a marbled effect—not too much, as you want to keep distinct swirls.
8. Pipe the Meringue: Using a piping bag fitted with a round or star tip, dollop or pipe the meringue onto the lined baking sheets, leaving about an inch of space between each drop.
9. Bake the Meringue Drops: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 1.5 hours or until the meringue drops are dry to the touch and lift easily off the parchment paper. They should remain pale in color and should not brown.
10. Cool the Meringues: After baking, turn off the oven and leave the meringue drops inside to cool completely, about 1 hour. This step guarantees they become crisp and amazing to eat.
11. Serve and Enjoy: Once completely cooled, gently remove the chocolate swirled meringue drops from the parchment paper, and serve them as a delightful treat with coffee, tea, or as part of your festive holiday spread!

These light and airy treats are infused with fragrant cinnamon and coated in sweet sugar, creating a delightful combination of textures and flavors. Perfect for holiday gatherings, they add a cozy touch to any dessert spread and are sure to be a hit with both children and adults alike.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F (93°C) and prepare two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
2. Whip the Egg Whites: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they become frothy, approximately 2 minutes.
3. Add Cream of Tartar: Sprinkle in the cream of tartar and continue beating on high speed until soft peaks begin to form, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Incorporate Sugar Gradually: Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed. This process should take around 5-7 minutes until you achieve stiff, glossy peaks and the sugar is fully dissolved.
5. Add Flavorings: Gently fold in the powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract into the whipped meringue using a rubber spatula. Be careful to maintain the volume of the mixture while ensuring the ingredients are fully incorporated.
6. Pipe the Meringue Puffs: Transfer the meringue mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, or use a zip-top bag with one corner snipped off. Pipe small mounds onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each for spreading.
7. Coat with Sugar: Before baking, lightly sprinkle the meringue puffs with the extra sugar to create a sweet, crunchy coating.
8. Bake the Meringues: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the meringues are crisp and dry to the touch. Turn off the oven and let them cool inside the oven with the door ajar for an additional hour.
9. Cool and Serve: Once fully cooled, remove the meringue puffs from the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container until ready to serve. Enjoy your delightful Cinnamon Sugar Meringue Puffs during the holiday season!

Nutty Hazelnut Meringues

Nutty Hazelnut Meringues are a delightful variation of traditional meringue cookies, adding a rich, nutty flavor that complements the light and airy texture. These meringues are crafted with finely chopped hazelnuts, enhancing both the taste and the visual appeal of each bite. Perfect for the holiday season, they make a lovely addition to dessert platters or can be enjoyed on their own for a sweet treat.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Egg Whites: In a large, clean bowl, add the egg whites along with a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they turn frothy, which should take about 2 minutes.
3. Add Cream of Tartar: Sprinkle the cream of tartar into the egg whites. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat until soft peaks begin to form, which should take an additional 2-3 minutes.
4. Incorporate Sugar Slowly: Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Continue to beat on high speed for about 5-7 minutes, until the meringue reaches stiff, glossy peaks and all the sugar is dissolved.
5. Fold in the Flavorings: Gently fold in the powdered sugar and ground hazelnuts using a rubber spatula. Make sure you preserve the volume of the meringue while mixing until the ingredients are well combined.
6. Pipe the Meringues: Spoon the meringue mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip or use a zip-top bag with one corner cut off. Pipe small dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each for spreading.
7. Bake the Meringues: Carefully place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour or until the meringues feel crisp and dry to the touch.
8. Cool in the Oven: After baking, turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly, letting the meringues cool inside for another hour. This helps them dry out completely and prevents cracking.
9. Serve: Once fully cooled, gently remove the meringues from the parchment paper. Arrange them on a serving platter and enjoy your delicious Nutty Hazelnut Meringues as a festive treat!

Festive Rainbow Meringue Cookies

Festive Rainbow Meringue Cookies are a delightful and colorful treat that brings a pop of cheer to any holiday gathering. These whimsical cookies feature the same airy texture of traditional meringue but are enhanced with vibrant colors, making them not only delicious but also visually appealing. Perfect for kids and adults alike, these cookies can be enjoyed on their own or used to decorate cakes and desserts.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F (93°C). Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Egg Whites: In a large, clean bowl, add the egg whites along with a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they’re frothy, which should take about 2 minutes.
3. Add Cream of Tartar: Sprinkle in the cream of tartar. Increase the mixer speed to high and continue beating until soft peaks form, which should take another 2-3 minutes.
4. Incorporate the Sugar Gradually: Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed. This process should take about 5-7 minutes until you achieve stiff, glossy peaks, and the sugar is completely dissolved.
5. Add Flavoring and Coloring: Gently fold in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract using a rubber spatula. Divide the meringue into small bowls and add a few drops of different food coloring to each bowl, mixing gently to create various colors. Maintain the fluffy texture.
6. Pipe the Meringues: Spoon the colored meringue mixtures into separate piping bags or small zip-top bags. If using zip-top bags, cut a small corner off to pipe the meringue. Pipe small dollops onto the prepared baking sheets, swirling colors together for a marbled effect or keeping them separate for distinct colors.
7. Bake the Meringues: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour or until the meringues are crisp and dry to the touch.
8. Cool in the Oven: Once the baking time is up, turn off the oven and leave the door slightly ajar. Allow the meringues to cool in the oven for an additional hour. This minimizes cracking and guarantees a dry finish.
9. Serve: After cooling completely, gently lift the meringues off the parchment paper. Enjoy them as standalone treats or use them to decorate cakes and festive desserts.
