A reader of Simply Recipes recently left a comment on our Pavlova recipe with a recipe for what she calls “Easter Cookies” (called “Resurrection cookies” by another reader). The commenter, Linda, describes them as a meringue cookie with pecans that you put into a 300°F oven the night before Easter, turn off the heat, and go to bed. The next morning you wake up to sweet, light clouds of pecan fluffiness. I adjusted the recipe a little, based on what I learned from Shuna‘s egg whites class. They are delightful little clouds, and quite sweet. Thank you Linda!
Pecan Meringue Cookies Recipe
Notes on working with egg whites. Before you start, remove eggs from refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. (A couple of hours will do, or if you are rushed for time, immerse them in warm water for 10 minutes.) Make sure that all bowls, hands, and utensils that might touch the eggs are clean and free from oils. To separate the eggs, crack them in half and gently move the yolk from one egg shell half to another, allowing the egg white to drip down into a clean container.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole pecans (preferably lightly roasted - 8-10 min at 250°F)
- 3 egg whites
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
