Mint Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies

March 16, 2011

These cookies bring back all my childhood memories! So delicious and cute too. These mint chocolate meringue cookies take a little time to bake slow and are so worth the wait.   

You can pipe these meringue cookies with a star tip and dip the bottoms in melted chocolate,

or place them by spoonfuls and add chocolate chips to them,

for IRRESISTIBLE Mint Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies!

These have been a favorite of mine for many, many years. When I was young, my Great Aunt Mary used to make them, when I would go to visit they would be “drying” in the oven. I walk in and wonder each and every visit if there were any Mint Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies.

 

I’d say hi and run to open the oven and see…

Sure enough most times there were.

That is if she was expecting me. I never knew how long these little buggers took to make…I was a kid!

About a month ago I shared this story with Mac, if you’d like to hear about it and some adventures in my kitchen. I also made Raspberry Rose Meringue Cookies, boy did they get me in the mood to make more meringues. I also made Red Strawberry Meringue Roses. Since this is St. Patrick’s “Week”, it seemed perfect to share these Green little treats with you. Below is the printable recipe.

      It’s a 12 point star tip, #32 (I think) it’s not a small tip, it’s considered a medium tip. It’s also known as a french tip I believe. Sorry I’m not more specific on the number, but it looks like th #32. I just don’t have them in front of me right nw. I think the ateco 839 is similar, may be larger. Any open star tip will work.
