Nan's Meringue Kisses - Easy to Be Creative
"This is a basic meringue kiss recipe which is easy to do and open for experiments. I started with a simple vanilla flavor kiss and have made lots of different flavors. These have always been a hit for the holidays. NOTE: Depending on your oven, you may have to use a lower temperature than suggested so the kisses don't brown too much on the bottom."
- Ready In:

- Ingredients:
- 4
- Yields:
-
24 kisses
ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 1 pinch salt
- 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla
directions
- Preheat oven to 250º degrees.
- Beat egg white & salt with mixer until frothy or fluffy. Add sugar very slowly while still using mixer.
- Beat until a stiff peak forms and sugar is dissolved.
- Fold in by hand vanilla.
- Spoon (teaspoonful) onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Bake 40-45 minutes.
- Let cool slightly before removing to cooling rack.
- Store in airtight container.
- You can add (1/4 cup per batch or desired amount) chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, mint chips, etc. Fold these in last.
- You can also substitute the vanilla with any flavor extract. I have used cherry extract with chocolate chips. These were excellent.
- You can also add a couple drops of food coloring to the desired flavor of the kiss. If you use a drop of yellow with a drop of red to get an orange color you can use chocolate chips to have a Halloween kiss.
- I don't suggest using wet ingredients such as maraschino cherries, pineapple, etc.

These kisses were very delicious and I will definitely make them during the holidays. They will make a great addition to the desserts. I am diabetic so I might try to see if I can substitute xylitol since they are very sweet. My hubby loved them just the way they are!

My Mom didn't like more than one cook (herself) in the kitchen at any given time, so I taught myself to cook after I lived on my own. I never liked the same old stuff so I had started to experiment with recipes. I found loads of recipes to play with throughout the years, even before the internet (grin). 15 years ago I met a man who loves to cook as much as me. We have been having loads of fun with the recipes that we find. We only post what we find a delight to make and eat.
