How to Make Lime Meringue Kisses Cookie Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat egg whites with salt using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition until stiff, glossy peaks form. Do not overbeat.
  4. Gently fold in lime zest and vanilla extract until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  5. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip (or use a spoon to drop by teaspoonfuls) onto the prepared baking sheets, creating small kisses.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the meringues are dry and crisp to the touch. They should be white, not browned.
  7. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before gently removing and serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
