Peppermint Meringue Cookies Recipe

This yummy Peppermint Meringue Cookies Recipe is not only easy to make but it also has a surprise inside! When you see the outside you would never think that a cute peppermint chocolate kiss is hiding inside. Perfect to serve during Holiday parties and get togethers.

During this time of year, my baking urges go in overdrive and I turn my house into a bakery! Giving out desserts to friends and family make cute and thoughtful gifts. This Peppermint Meringue Cookies Recipe is definitely something that I make as a gift. Gather them in a cute little box with a ribbon and you got yourself a great gift.

This Peppermint Meringue Cookies Recipe is crunchy, tasty with a nice peppermint flavor that finishes off with creamy chocolate. I sprinkle a few crushed candy canes on top for color and crunch.

If you’ve never made meringue before, you will be surprised how easy it is to make. Egg whites go in the mixer and become creamy and puffy.

See how beautiful and shiny the egg whites and sugar become when mixed for a few minutes? That is when I get my spoon and steal a few mouthfuls.

After making the meringue, simply pour the mixture in a zip top bag and cut down the bottom edge. It is easier to use a mug when filling your bag. Less mess in the kitchen gives you more time for munching!

After you fill out your bag with the meringue, it is time to pipe them in a cute shape and “hide” the peppermint kiss inside. Check out this cool trick:

Just place the kisses on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and pipe in a circular motion over the top. It takes a little practice to get the shape just right but you’ll get it after the second or third one.

Plus it’s super fun doing all those meringues. My daughters tried to help me but they kept spilling the meringue on themselves and licking their fingers.

Hope you can enjoy these cute Peppermint Meringue Cookies and try them at home.
