Ingredients
  

  • 3 large egg whites at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 3 tbsp Jello powder any flavor

Equipment

  • 1 Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • 2 Baking Sheets
  • 1 Piping Bag and Tip Optional

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large, clean bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until frothy.
  3. With the mixer running, slowly add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until the mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
  4. Gently fold in the Jello powder with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 1.5-inch rosettes onto the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the meringues are dry to the touch.
  7. Turn off the oven and let the cookies cool inside the oven with the door closed for at least 1 hour.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Do not refrigerate.
Cleanliness is Key: Ensure your mixing bowl and utensils are completely free of any grease or fat, as this will prevent the egg whites from whipping correctly.
