Equipment

  • Stand Mixer (optional)
  • Parchment Paper
  • Piping bag with tip (or plastic freezer bag)

Ingredients
  

Chai Spice Meringue Cookies

  • 3 large egg whites, room temperature
  • cup granulated sugar
  • tsp ground cardamom
  • tsp ground clove
  • tsp ground cinnamon
  • pinch ground ginger
  • pinch ground star anise

Instructions
 

Chai Spice Meringue Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  • In a small bowl, combine spices.
  • Combine spices in a medium bowl with granulated sugar. Mix with a spoon until well combined.
  • In a stand-up mixer or large mixing bowl, whisk egg whites for 2 minutes on low speed.
  • Increase whisking speed to medium.
  • In 6 additions, slowly add sugar spice blend to the egg whites, whisking at least 30 seconds between additions.
  • Whisk egg-sugar-spice mix until stiff peaks form, approximately 7-10 minutes on medium.
  • Add meringue mix to a piping bag (or alternately, a plastic freezer bag with the corner tip cut off) and pipe 1-inch diameter cookies onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  • Bake for 2 - 2 ½ hours until meringues are dry to the touch; watch in the final ½ hour to ensure edges aren’t caramelizing or burning.
  • Slide parchment paper off baking sheet and cool completely.

Storing Your Chai Spice Meringue Cookies

  • Store in an air-tight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

Notes

It is possible to over mix your meringue. Stop before the eggs separate in the mixer (7-10 minutes is ideal).
