Meringue 'Bones'
Introduction
How funny is it that these bone-shaped cookies are also fat-free?
Ingredients
1/2 cup egg whites (about 4 large egg whites)
a pinch of salt
1 cup sugar
a pinch of salt
1 cup sugar
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 300 F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment or wax paper.
2. With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and salt on high speed until soft peaks form.
3. Continue mixing on high speed while adding 1/2 cup of the sugar. Add the remaining sugar by the tablespoonful. Beat for another 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is stiff and shiny.
4.Spoon into a pastry bag or a plastic bag with one corner snipped.
5. On a sheet pan lined with parchment, pipe two 1"" dots next to each other, then another two dots 6"" directly across. Connect the dots with a single line of meringue. Repeat, leaving one inch between each ""bone.""
6. Bake until pale golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
