For the meringue:
- Egg whites of 2 eggs, room temperature
- ¼ tsp lemon juice
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- Purple gel food coloring
To decorate:
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2-3 oz. pink fondant
- Seashell fondant mold
How To Make Meringue
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Using a stand electric mixer, start beating the egg whites and lemon juice on low speed.
Slowly add your granulated sugar and increase the speed to high. Allow mixing for 10 – 15 minutes, until mixture is white and forms stiff peaks.
Scoop ½ of the meringue mixture in a small bowl. Color the remaining meringue with purple gel food coloring and mix it until completely melted.
Add the white meringue back into the purple meringue mixture and fold. You won’t want to mix both but rather, carefully create a “marbled” look.
Scoop the meringue into a piping bag with Wilton icing tip #21 attached.
On your lined baking sheet, pipe out 2 inch circular discs. Next, pipe out a border around the top of each disc.
Bake them for 2 hours. Once 2 hours is up, turn off the heat and leave them in the oven for another 35 minutes. Let them cool down for 5 minutes before decorating.
Decorating Beach Meringue Cookies
Sprinkle brown sugar in the center of each meringue cookie. Place one fondant seashell in the center.
Use your sea shell mold to form pink fondant sea shells. All you have to do is press a little bit of fondant into your shape of choice and remove from the mold.
Serve these delicious ocean themed cookies for your next summer party and enjoy!
