How to Make Meringue Cookies With Cacao Nibs

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C) and position the rack in the center.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment or place small dabs of meringue at each corner to prevent slipping.
  3. Prepare a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip, or use two spoons for mounding the meringue.
  4. In a clean, grease-free bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat 4 large egg whites on low-medium speed until foamy.
  5. Add 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
  6. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating continuously until stiff, glossy peaks form and the sugar is completely dissolved (rub a small amount between your fingers to check).
  7. Gently fold in 1/2 cup cacao nibs.
  8. Pipe or spoon 2 1/2-inch rounds of meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle with a few shaved almonds.
  10. Bake for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours, rotating the baking sheet halfway through for even baking. Meringues are done when pale and crisp.
  11. Turn off the oven, prop the door open slightly, and let the meringues cool and dry completely in the oven overnight (or for at least 4-6 hours).
