Peppermint Meringue Cookies

When I was a kid, my grandma made light green meringue surprise cookies every Christmas.

I thought she was a cookie sorceress because the meringue shell would melt in my mouth, giving way to a yummy chocolate chip center that soon melt along with it–talk about Christmas magic!

Needless to say, Santa put a mega dent on our meringue cookie inventory when he stopped by every Christmas eve! {giggle}

This Peppermint Meringue Cookie Recipe: 

  • Yields: 28-30
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 90 minutes plus cooling in oven 60 minutes

This post contains affiliate links.

Meringue cookie ingredients: food coloring, eggs, cream of tartar, sugar, salt, and peppermint extract.
You only need 6 basic ingredients to make meringue cookies, and you probably already have them all in your pantry and fridge!

Ingredients Needed for Peppermint Meringue Cookies

Instructions to Make Peppermint Meringue Cookie Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Meringue cookies almost double as a pretty Christmas decoration for your table!

How Do you Store Meringue Cookies? 

Store your meringue cookies in an airtight container.

Meringue is fragile, so I wouldn’t recommend something flimsy–like freezer bags or a paper plate with saran wrap, etc.

Opt for a Christmas cookie tin or a plastic tub.

Keep them in a cool, dry place (think your fridge, as long as you have an airtight container).

Kids will think you are a magician when you hand them a meringue cookie that melts in their mouth!

Can I Freeze Meringue cookies? 

Yes, you can!  

In order to keep them from drying out, you don’t want to let your meringue cookies sit too long before freezing.

Start with freshly baked cookies.

Once they have cooled to room temperature, package them in an airtight container and then freeze for up to 2 months.

Santa will be so excited if you leave him some of these yummy meringue cookies!

How long do meringue cookies stay good for?

Depending on whether or not you stored them properly, your meringue cookies will last for up to two weeks in the fridge, and up to two months in the freezer.

Top off your cookie platters for friends, family, and neighbors, with yummy meringue cookies that have a hint of peppermint–YUM!

What is the difference between meringue cookies and macarons?

These two cookies are actually quite different! 

While meringue cookies are made from just a few ingredients, and piped with a bag onto a pan, macarons have more steps (and more ingredients!). 

Macarons have yummy frosting in the center of the sandwich cookie, whereas meringue cookies do not. 

They are also baked at a higher temperature, for a shorter time than meringue cookies.

My advice is to stick with meringue cookies at first if you are a beginner, and then move up to macarons!

Yes! This recipe is gluten free.
