Santa’s Rainbow Kisses

Serves 24

Ingredients

4 egg whites

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup sugar

gel food coloring (red, blue, green, yellow)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large stand mixer bowl, whisk together the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add cream of tartar, salt, and sugar. Whip until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute.

In a large piping bag, draw a thin line with each of the gel colors on the edges of the plastic bag, the lines should run from the tip of the bag to the center, on the “north, south, east, and west” of the bag.

Fit bag with a large start tip and gently spoon whipped egg whites into the bag.

Pipe small meringue kisses onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, then remove and allow to cool for 2 hours until hardened.

Gently lift meringues from parchment paper.

Serve and enjoy!
