sunday sweets



ava and paul made these last sunday.
the recipe is from
a princess cookbook
ava got for her birthday.
and i pretty much love them.
they are a cross between
divinity
and
a perfectly
roasted marshmallow.
so delicious,
delicate
and easy to make.
but they bake for 1 hour
so give yourself time.

pretty princess puffs

ingredients:

3 egg whites
3/4 c sugar
1/4 t cream of tartar
1/2 t vanilla or almond extract
2-3 drops food coloring
sprinkles


directions:

preheat oven to 250. line 2 cookie sheets with foil.

in a large bowl, whip egg whites with electric mixer until soft peaks form. with mixer on, slowly add sugar, one tablespoon at a time. add cream of tartar, vanilla or almond extract and food coloring. continue beating till stiff peaks form.

spoon mounds {about 2 T each..we used a cookie scoop} onto foil lined cookie sheets; space them about 1/2 inch apart. sprinkle with decoration of choice.

place both cookie sheets on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. then turn off oven and leave oven door closed fror 10 minutes.

remove puffs from baking sheets and store in an airtight container.

makes 18-24 cookies.

looks yummy! I've never made a divinity type cookie. Maybe I'll have to try it next time I'm eating sugar.

Hey, what site do you use to track who is looking at your site?
