Recipe: Mint Kisses (meringue cookies using fresh mint)

Desserts - Cookies, Brownies, Bars
MINT KISSES

4 egg whites
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
1 drop green food coloring
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves

Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar to a stiff froth. Add the confectioner's sugar and coloring and whip 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture forms a stiff paste. Fold in the mint. Drop the paste from a spoon, swirling the top, onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until the kisses are completely dry and have small cracks in the top. Cool completely and store, covered, at room temperature.

Makes 5 dozen
