How to Make Pink Cookies Meringue Jello Cookies

  1. Carefully separate 4 large egg whites from yolks. Even a tiny bit of yolk will prevent the meringue from forming properly.
  2. In a spotlessly clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry jello powder, beating on medium speed until combined and the meringue is smooth and holds its shape.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  5. Lightly butter a baking sheet. Drop rounded spoonfuls of meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, aiming for small, bite-sized cookies.
  6. Bake at 250°F (120°C) for 30 minutes. Then, turn off the oven and leave the cookies in the oven overnight (8-10 hours) with the oven door closed.
  7. Do not open the oven door during baking or cooling! This slow cooling process is key to their soft and chewy texture.
  8. Once cooled, carefully remove cookies from the baking sheet and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
