Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl beat egg whites, vanilla, cream or tartar, and salt with a mixer on medium until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add sugar, about 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Carefully spoon meringue into a new disposable pastry bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe meringue into snowmen shapes about 1 1/4 inches tall, piping 2 to 3 balls that are larger at the bottom and get smaller toward the top. If desired, carefully place one orange jimmy in each snowman for a nose. Dip a small spoon or butter knife in hot water and lightly round the snowmen tops. Bake 1 hour or until meringues are set but not quite firm. Turn oven off and let meringue cookies stand in oven 30 minutes. Carefully remove cookies from parchment. Cool on wire racks. If desired, spoon melted chocolate into a pastry bag and snip a very small hole in one of the corners. Pipe dots for eyes and buttons and twig-like arms along the sides.
