I love these Almond Meringue Ghost Cookies for Halloween. This recipe makes a large batch of 45 cookies, so they are perfect for a child’s class Halloween party. I am planning to bag these to give out as treats to trick or treaters this year.
To make these cute cookies, start by making the meringue base by mixing egg whites with sugar gradually. Once the meringue is prepared, transfer it to a pastry bag fitted with a large piping nozzle. You can use a zip lock bag with the corner snipped off if you don’t have a pastry bag and nozzle. Pipe meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, swirling as you pipe to form a ghost shape. Bake in the oven and after 1½ hours, turn the oven off and cool meringues in the closed oven for 1½ hours until dry. Melt chocolate chips in a small plastic bag. Snip off a corner of the bag and squeeze out chocolate eyes and mouths.
To make Almond Meringue Ghost Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat oven to 225 °F. Line 2 baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Using a mixer at medium speed, beat 4 egg whites with ¼ teaspoon of cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
Increase the speed to high and beat in first ½ a cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, followed by ⅔ cup of powdered sugar, until stiff peaks form.
Add 3 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of almond extract to the meringue and mix until fully incorporated.
Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a large round nozzle. Pipe meringue swirls onto the prepared baking sheets, swirling as you pipe to form a ghost shape.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 1½ hours.
Turn off the heat and leave the meringues to cool completely inside the oven for about 1½ hours.
Place 2 teaspoons of chocolate chips in a small plastic bag and melt in the microwave on half power for 2 minutes until just melted. Snip off a tiny bit of plastic in one corner of the bag and squeeze out a little melted chocolate to create eyes and mouths onto each meringue.
Allow the chocolate to dry for about 5 minutes before serving.
