- Cookie dough
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Peppermint Meringue
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon vinegar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (mini chips may be better)
- 1 cup coarsely-crushed peppermint stick candy
Method
- Combine everything for the cookie dough; chill while preparing meringue.
- To prepare meringue: Beat egg whites with salt in small bowl until soft mounds (not peaks) form. Gradually add sugar; continue beating until stiff peaks form. (Once you get peaks that stand up, stop. You can overbeat meringue.) Fold in vanilla, vinegar, chocolate chips, and crushed candy.
- Shape dough into balls using a rounded teaspoon. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten with bottom of glass dipped in sugar.
- Top each cookie with a rounded teaspoon of meringue. Bake at 325 for 20-25 minute.
