    Lemon Meringue Pie Meringues
    Makes 20 servings
    Calling all lemon pie lovers! These simple, light-as-a-feather meringue cookies boast a delicate crunch and a sweet lemony taste that will remind you of the classic pie. Make them for special occasions, like bridal and baby showers, or serve them with bowls of berries and frozen yogurt for a taste of all things summer. Store them in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
    Ingredients
    3 large egg whites
    ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
    2/3 cup granulated sugar
    1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest
    1/8 teaspoon vanilla
    Instructions
    1. Preheat the oven to 225°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with silicone liners or parchment. Set aside.
    2. Place the egg whites, cream of tartar, and sugar in a metal mixing bowl, and place over a pan of simmering water. Heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until sugar dissolves and egg whites are slightly warm.
    3. Remove the bowl from the heat and beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on high for 4 to 5 minutes or until very stiff peaks form. With a spatula, gently fold in the lemon juice, zest, and vanilla, being careful not to deflate meringue mixture.
    4. Using a tablespoon, immediately spoon the meringue mixture onto the cookie sheets. Bake for an hour, or until cookies lift cleanly off the cookie sheet. Turn off the oven, and leave the cookies in oven for 15 minutes. Remove and cool on a rack. Store cookies in an airtight container.
    DARE TO COMPARE: You need to eat a dozen of these meringues to equal the carbohydrates in one piece of Marie Callender’s Lemon Meringue Pie. To match the just the calories, you need to eat the entire batch!
