These Easy Jello Meringue Cookies are light, airy, and full of fruity flavor thanks to flavored gelatin. With a crisp shell and melt-in-your-mouth center, they’re a colorful, gluten-free treat that’s fun to make and perfect for sharing.

Ingredients

  • 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Jello powder (any flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add sugar and Jello powder, one spoonful at a time, while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or use a spoon) and pipe small mounds onto prepared baking sheets.
  5. Bake for 1.5–2 hours until cookies are dry and lift off the parchment easily. Turn off oven and let cookies cool inside with the door slightly open for 30–60 minutes.
  6. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use any flavor of Jello powder—strawberry, lime, and raspberry work great.
  • Humidity can cause stickiness—store in a dry place.
  • Add sprinkles before baking for a festive look.
  • Don’t overbeat the meringue after stiff peaks form—it can collapse.
