Pumpkin Spice Meringue Cookies

My sister and I recently both got new (to us) KitchenAid Mixers and when we were chatting the other day she asked if I’d christened mine yet. Which, duh. Of course. But then she asked if I’d made meringues. Well, no. To be honest, it hadn’t even occurred to me. It stuck in my head though after our conversation and tonight I decided I just needed to go ahead and make some. I was figuring to get it out of my system, but holy heck. I think I did just the opposite.
These Pumpkin Spice Meringue Cookies were so fun and easy to make (not to mention delicious!) that I just want to keep making more and more! I can blame my sister for this, right?

I have to say, I have really really really been loving my Kitchenaid, and it’s exciting for me to tell you that I’ve teamed up with Allison from Cupcake Diaries and several other fantastic bloggers, to celebrate Allison’s 5th blogging anniversary and give away a brand new KitchenAid mixer! No, for real! Take a gander at the recipe, and then scroll down to enter in the widget below!
Pumpkin Spice Meringue Cookies
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice here's how to make mine, it's way better than store bought!
- optional: food coloring
Instructions
- With an electric mixer, whip the egg whites on high until peaks form.
- Add sugar, cream of tartar, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice to the mixing bowl. Continue whipping on high until all ingredients are incorporated and stiff peaks are forming.
- Optional step, add food coloring and whip another moment or two to incorporate.
- Spoon meringue mixture into a piping bag (or ziploc with a corner cut off) and pipe cookie shapes onto a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet (do NOT skip the parchment/silicone paper). I made mine small, between quarter and half dollar size, but you can do whatever you like!
- Bake at 225 degrees for 35 - 40 minutes, watching closely at the end. Don't let the meringues brown. You can tell they're done by tapping on them - if they feel dry (not sticky) and mostly hard, take them out to cool. When cooled they should be totally dry and feel almost hollow.
- Slide them off the parchment paper and store in an airtight container.
- Enjoy!

Not sure if my other comment posted, but those look really good!
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an incredibly long
comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up.
Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyhow,
just wanted to say superb blog!
The baking time on these meringues was very off and I have an oven thermometer so I can be sure the temp is accurate. As a result, I added bake time, but they never really materialized like meringues. I was disappointed -.
it’s just a matter of giving them the time to dry out in the oven. i’m not sure what you mean by materialize. my cookies (as pictured) are very small, did you perhaps make yours much larger? that would make it take considerably longer. also if it’s wet or humid out that can add time.
We love both everything pumpkin and meringue cookies. But never thought to combine! Thanks for this great combo! Enjoy your site and thanks for sharing so much and always easy to follow instructions.
