Caramel Macchiato Meringue Cookies
I love hanging out at the coffee house as much as anyone else, but sometimes I just want to stay home, curled up with a great book, and enjoying my day. For those days I have these caramel macchiato meringue cookies. They have the amazing flavor of coffee house coffee, but I get to stay in my pajama's while I enjoy them. And now you can enjoy them, too!

Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon caramel flavoring
- 3 teaspoons instant espresso powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300º and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a mixer, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy.
- Turn the mixer up to medium high and slowly add in the sugar.
- Once sugar is well blended, turn the mixer to high and add in the caramel flavoring and espresso powder.
- Beat for 3-5 minutes until stiff peaks form.
- Using an ice cream scoop, drop the mixture onto the parchment paper so that cookies are approximately 1-2 inches apart.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then turn the pan and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
- Turn off the oven, but leave the meringue's in there until completely cooled (at least one hour - keep the door closed). Serve and enjoy!
Notes
I prefer my caramel macchiato meringue cookies with little more kick, so I usually use 1 1/2 Tablespoons instant espresso powder. I'd recommend starting on the lighter side (as written) and working your way up until you find the right taste for you!
