Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites

  • a pinch of salt

  • 100 g sugar

  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch

  • some drops of food coloring (optional)

Steps

  • Preheat oven to 100°C and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place egg whites in a small bowl, then let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer beat egg whites on low speed until foamy. Increase the speed to high and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form for about 5-8 minutes.
  • Add the cornstarch to binding the meringue. If desired, divide batter in half and fold in or beat shortly with two different food coloring.
  • Place the meringue mixture in a pastry bag with desired tip and pipe out your kisses onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake at 100°C for about 35-40 minutes or until firm to the touch. Immediately remove to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.
