This post and recipe were created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.
Here we are at the end of Halloween Treats Week and I saved the cutest for last. These Ghost Meringue cookies are made with swiss meringue and then decorated with melted semi-sweet chocolate.
If you want a cute and spooky treat, this is it for you!
How to Make Ghost Meringue Cookies
You want to make sure that all your equipment is super clean and doesn't have any water whatsoever anywhere — not even a drip.
In a double boiler, stir the egg whites and the sugar over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
Immediately remove it from the heat and place it into your stand mixer and whisk until nice and shiny and stiff. Start out slow and then speed up as you go. You can use meringue powder or cream of tarter to ensure your ghosts will be super stiff.
Add in vinegar and cornstarch and fold together with a rubber spatula. Use rubber as this will ensure that you do not break your egg whites. Be gentle when folding together.
Then, add to your piping bag fitted with a 1″ round tip. Pipe the ghosts onto parchment paper. You can do different size ghosts.
Bake in a 195-degree oven for 90 minutes. Don't open the door. Once the 90 minutes is done, turn the oven off and crack the door.
Once the meringues have cooled, melt a few chocolate chips in the microwave and decorate your cookies with the end of a tiny paintbrush or a skewer.
