These spooky slime cookies are made from a glossy green meringue, piped into gooey dollops and baked low and slow. Once cooled, edible eyes are attached with leftover meringue for a fun, creepy effect. Perfect for Halloween parties or a frightfully sweet snack.

Ingredients

4 egg whites

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup powder sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

leaf green food coloring

small edible eyes

Directions

Set your oven to 225°F to preheat.

In a stand mixer, put the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat until the mixture becomes frothy.

Keep mixing on medium-low speed while gradually adding the sugars, alternating between granulated and powdered, one tablespoon at a time. Make sure the last tablespoon you add is powdered sugar.

Continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Add leaf green gel food coloring one or two drops at a time, mixing until you reach the green shade you like.

Transfer the meringue to a piping bag and pipe dollops on top of each other to create slime shapes.

Set aside some leftover meringue to use later as glue for the edible eyes.

Bake the cookies at 225°F for 1 hour and 25 minutes.

After baking, take the slime monsters out of the oven and let them cool until safe to handle. Use the reserved meringue to stick edible eyes onto the cookies.
