We had another snow day today!! Yippee! My kids love snow days and when it is cold, windy, snowy, icy and just plain yucky outside - - so do I!!!
Today, we decided to make these yummy little treats! These were featured in Family Fun Magazine as Santa Hats. We just changed them into hearts for Valentine's Day! These are so light and fluffy and my kids just love them!!
Heat oven to 200 degrees. With an electric mixer, beat egg whites (must be at room temp) until soft peaks start to form. Beating all the while, add the cream of tartar and vanilla extract, then slowly add the 1/2 cup of sugar. Continue to beat until the peaks stiffen.
Spoon the meringue into a quart-sized plastic zip-lock bag. Snip off a corner and pipe hearts onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle with red and pink sugar. Bake the hearts until they are hard but not yet browned about 1 hour 20 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the hearts in for an hour to crisp before removing! Enjoy! (It seems like a long time - but they are worth it!).
