Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Jello Meringue Cookies

Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a clean mixing bowl, add the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt. Beat until soft peaks form, about 2–3 minutes.
Increase the mixer speed to high, gradually adding the sugar and Jello powder, beating until stiff peaks form, about 5–7 minutes.
Transfer the meringue mixture into a piping bag and pipe small swirls onto the baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour without opening the door.
Turn the oven off and leave the trays inside with the door slightly ajar for 30 minutes to cool.
Carefully transfer the cooled meringues to an airtight container for storage.
