Elf Poop The cookie that eats like candy, because Elves are all about candy!

                                                                         
My 2 Granddaughters challenged me to make Elf Poop Cookies for Christmas! HA HA, they will be happily surprised with these! Just pure fun! 

6 Egg Whites
2 Tsp Vanilla
1/2 TSP Cream Of Tartar
Dash of Salt
1 & 1/3 Cups Granulated Sugar
1 Heaping & I mean heaping of Cocoa I used Hershey's Special Dark Baking Cocoa
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Cup Nestles Unicorn Baking Chips
2 TBS of ChocoMaker Milk Chocolate Flakes or Chocolate Jimmies if you cannot find the flakes
Varies sprinkles for topping each pile of Elf Poop! I used Hollyberries Sprinkles Gold  Baking Glitter & more Chocolate Baking Flakes! Be creative & have fun!
Preheat oven to 250 Degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment. Now on to mix up that Elf Poop!
In your deep mixing bowl place egg whites, cream of tartar, salt & vanilla. Beat until nice & frothy. Stir your Granulated Sugar & Cocoa together, Beat into the egg mixture 1 heaping TBS at a time Beat in powdered sugar 1 TBS at a time. Now beat it all on high speed a good 10 to 15 minutes. Now stir in the baking chips & chocolate flakes or the jimmies if you use those. Drop by spoon onto parchment lined sheets. Place sheets in the oven at the same time & bake 35 minutes, DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN AT ALL, now after the 35 minutes turn oven off & let cookies sit in the oven for 1 hour. Again no peeking! After one hour you will have crispy, crunchy sweet piles of Elf Poop!

Judys Foodies Kisses or Meringue Cookies

                                                                         
How beautiful are these? Perfect to decorate any cookie tray & my grandkids are in love with these! Crisp & light as air with that marshmallow taste, these are the perfect addition to your cookie baking. The best part is these are easy! I had my two little grandgirls ages 7 & 5 help me make these. We dropped the batter from a spoon & gave each cookie a little swirl. If you want fancy you may pipe these using your pastry bag & a decorate tip but I wanted the girls to enjoy the baking without a lot of fuss & these turned out wonderful! ENJOY!

3 Egg Whites at room temperature
1 TSP Vanilla
1/4 TSP Cream Of Tartar
Dash of Salt
2/3 Cup Granulated Sugar

Preheat oven to 250 Degrees & line to baking sheets with parchment paper.
Now beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, salt, & vanilla until you have a nice bowl of froth, it should look very foamy. Now beat in the sugar 1 TBS at a time. Now turn mixer on high & let this beat until you have thick glossy peaks about 10 full minute. Now drop by teaspoonfuls or pipe batter onto parchment sheets. Lightly sprinkle with any sprinkles you choose or leave plain. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes & then turn oven off & leave cookies in the oven for at least 1 hour. I left them i for 2 hours & they were perfect! FUN & LOVELY!
