How to Make Mint Julep Kisses Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar, beating continuously until stiff and glossy.
- Add 1 teaspoon of mint extract and a few drops of green food coloring. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a teaspoon, drop the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- **Option 1 (Overnight Method):** Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven, immediately turn off the oven, and leave the cookies inside overnight. The residual heat will gently bake them.
- **Option 2 (Conventional Baking):** Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven, immediately reduce the temperature to 275°F (140°C), and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and crisp. Check for doneness 10 minutes before the estimated time, as oven temperatures vary.
- Once baked, let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before carefully transferring them to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days (though they are best enjoyed fresh!).
