2 Calorie Cookies

Dead serious... Meringue is so good for a treat, but you have to be extremely diligent to get this right.

Take out four eggs and let them sit for an hour or so to get them to room temp... You can even sit them in warm water, but not too hot.

Separate the whites into a clean DRY preferably metal bowl. If any yolk gets in there. Start Over!

Using a handheld electric mixer, start beating the eggs for a minute or two until they get foamy, but not too firm. Add one to two teaspoons of cream of tartar, or some salt.

Beat the eggs on high until they are stiff, then beat some more.

Here is a tricky part... 4 eggs will require 1/2 cup of Splenda, or Stevia equivalent. Spoon in one tbsp at a time while continuing to beat at high speed. DO NOT ADD THE SUGAR SUBSTITUTE ANY FASTER!

While continuing to beat at high speed add some vanilla extract, and if you are feeling saucy an additional extract. Almond or Lemon work very well. Beat for a little more (it's almost impossible to overbeat)

Have your oven preheated to 225, no higher. Spoon the mix onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, this will make it less sticky. Each cookie should be a little smaller than a Ping pong ball.

Put into the oven for 30 minutes. Turn the oven off after 30 minutes, but leave the tray in there for at least another 90 minutes.

Take me out and store them in a covered container... If they last that long.

They will be sweet and crispy and literally melt In Your mouth

Electric mixers? hot ovens? 1/2 cup splenda?

It's like you're TRYING to kill us.

Oh, you must add some dark chocolate chips. A few more calories but worth it for the nutrition and satisfaction.

I guess people don't cook anymore. Sounds good to me. I think I'll try lemon flavor. I love lemon merengue pie. :happy:

I've taken low cal lemon pudding and put it in a cupcake foil and tin, and put the meringue on top, baked at 400 for 4 mins, and then threw in the fridge for no crust, low cal lemon meringue "pie" as well.

I've made these and they're good but when I put them in a container they go soft! No idea why.

As long as you dont throw the other half away...

Will put Splenda/Stevia on the shopping list... gonna split the batch and try half of them with lemon and half with almond! Been thinking I wanted some lemon cookies, these may fit the bill!

Keepcalmanddontblink

So going to try this, but I'd rather use real sugar. I think a half cup has under 400 calories so even if you ate the whole batch, it wouldn't do too much harm. I LOVE meringue cookies! Will try it with lemon.

My local grocer sells merengue cookies in the bakery dept, but I guarantee they are made with sugar and not splenda or stevia.

Matter of fact, if these turn out good for me, I will cook some and take them to my diabetic brother when I go visit him on July 9th!

Quite a bit of people in this thread seem to be very judgemental and negative. Everyone has different ideas and I think this one's great. It's not like he's shoving the cookies down your throat, he's just putting a recipe out there. Chill out. If you don't wanna eat them THEN DON'T. I will definitely be trying the lemon ones!

And if you're gonna inhale febreze instead........ please do. the whole can. wash it down with some bleach while you're at it for being so rude.

Your post was very positive... until you basically told people to go kill themselves for joking about a cookie. Irony?
