Como fazer Pink Meringue Clouds

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
**Prepare Cookie Dough:** In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
**Prepare Meringue:** In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies.
**Assemble Cookies:** Roll chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
Top each cookie with a rounded teaspoon of meringue.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden and the meringue is lightly browned.
