Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric Mixer
  • Piping Bag
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Green food coloring gel
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Add the sugar a little at a time while beating on high speed. Continue until the mixture reaches stiff, glossy peaks.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract and enough green food coloring gel to reach a bright green shade.
  • Spoon the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe small kiss shapes onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Press two mini chocolate chips into each meringue to create eyes.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely.

Notes

Let the meringues cool fully in the turned-off oven to keep them crisp. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature so they stay dry and light. If the mixture feels too soft to pipe, beat it a bit longer until it holds its shape.
