Comment préparer Peppermint Stars
- Place 4 large egg whites in a medium mixing bowl and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or foil; set aside.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar to the egg whites.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form (approximately 2-3 minutes).
- Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is completely dissolved (approximately 5-7 minutes).
- Quickly beat in 1 teaspoon peppermint extract.
- If desired, tint the meringue a delicate pink with several drops of red food coloring.
- Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Pipe 1-inch star shapes onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
- Bake in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 15 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and let the cookies dry in the oven with the door closed for 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the cookies from the baking sheets and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Store the cooled peppermint stars in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Makes approximately 45 cookies.
