How to Make Christmas Meringue Kisses

  1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is completely dissolved. (This will take several minutes).
  4. Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate, 1/2 cup chopped almonds, and 1/2 cup well-drained maraschino cherries.
  5. Using a teaspoon, drop meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each kiss.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the meringues are crisp and dry to the touch.
  7. Let the meringues cool completely on the baking sheets before serving.
