These rose meringues are light, crisp, airy and melt in your mouth~ ideal for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, tea time, or anytime you want your celebration extra sweet! Add some straws for a little whimsy to make a rose cookie pop or serve as a meringue rose cookie if you prefer.
I used strawberry flavored Jell-O, to add flavor and color to these meringue roses, but you could use the flavor of your choice.
Meringue Tips: Grease and water can prevent your meringue from reaching stiff peaks and cause them to deflate. Avoid using plastic bowls for whipping egg whites where residual traces of grease or fat can linger and make sure your bowl and utensils are clean and dry. For best results, avoid making meringues in humid weather.
Add the meringue into a pastry bag fitted with a medium open star tip (I used a 1 M) and pipe the cookies onto the lined baking sheets.
To make roses, touch your tip to the parchment paper of what will be the center of your flower and continue piping in a spiral, making two rotations and then gently lift tip up and pull away. To make a cookie pop, add paper straws the piped meringues to set as they were bake. More photos and details can be found on the blog post.
