🍥 Meringue Cookies (Thermomix Recipe)
Light, crisp, and melt-in-your-mouth, meringue cookies are a classic treat made with just a few ingredients. Using a Thermomix makes whipping the egg whites quick and easy, giving you perfect fluffy meringue every time.
🥚 Ingredients
- 3 egg whites (room temperature)
- 180 g powdered sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tsp lemon juice or ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- Food coloring (optional)
⚙️ Thermomix Instructions
1. Prepare the bowl
Make sure the mixing bowl is completely clean and dry. Any grease can prevent egg whites from whipping properly.
Insert the butterfly whisk attachment.
2. Whip the egg whites
Add the egg whites and salt.
Whisk:
3 min / 37°C / Speed 3.5
The egg whites should become foamy and start forming soft peaks.
3. Add sugar
Set the Thermomix to:
6 min / Speed 3.5
Slowly add the powdered sugar one spoon at a time through the lid opening while mixing.
Add vanilla and lemon juice during the last minute.
The mixture should become thick, glossy, and hold stiff peaks.
4. Shape the cookies
Transfer the meringue to a piping bag.
Pipe small swirls or kisses onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
If desired, add a drop of food coloring and swirl lightly for a marble effect.
5. Bake
Preheat oven to 100°C (210°F).
Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes – 1 hour 30 minutes until the meringues are dry and crisp.
Turn off the oven and let them cool inside the oven with the door slightly open for about 30 minutes.
🍪 Tips for Perfect Meringues
✔ Use room-temperature egg whites for better volume.
✔ Make sure no yolk gets into the whites.
✔ Add sugar gradually so the meringue stays stable.
✔ Bake low and slow so the cookies dry rather than brown.
✨ Flavor Variations
- Chocolate meringues – fold in 1 tbsp cocoa powder.
- Lemon meringues – add lemon zest.
- Peppermint meringues – add a drop of peppermint extract.
- Rainbow meringues – use gel food coloring before piping.
🫙 Storage
Store meringue cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Keep them away from humidity so they stay crisp.
