    Ingredients
     

    • 3 egg whites
    • Pinch of salt
    • ¾ cup of granulated sugar
    • 2 teaspoons of lime zest

    Instructions
     

    • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
    • Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt on medium-high speed until foamy, about 1 minute. With mixer running, gradually add sugar in 2 additions beating for 3 minutes between each addition. Beat until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes longer.
    • With a spatula fold in the lime zest. Drop about 3 tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 30 minutes.
    • Rotate the pan and bake for another 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and allow the meringues to cool completely while still in the oven, about 2 hours.

    Hola Everyone,

    A couple of weeks ago I had some leftover egg whites and I didn't want to waste them, so I decided to make a lime version of meringue cookies.

    I absolutely love classic meringues and this lime version is very good and super simple to make. I hope you enjoy my Lime Meringue Cookies as much as I did.

    Buen provecho!

      I always have some leftover from other recipes and make them into meringues. Erica, in case you don't know, you can freeze them and use them whenever you like. I add some lemon juice as well as it helps make 0meringue stiffer.

      How many does this make? I am doing a project on Colombia and I am bringing in food, but I need to make sure that I have enough for everyone in my class.
