Make these little clouds of heaven with SPLENDA® Granulated No Calorie Sweetener and let them, literally, melt in your mouth.
Ingredients
  • 6 large egg whites
  • 1½ tspn white vinegar
  • 1½ cup No Calorie Sweetener
  • 1 tspn peppermint extract
  • red food coloring, gel or liquid
  • ½ cup chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, beat the egg whites until white peaks are formed. Add the vinegar and beat. Add the No Calorie Sweetener ½ cup at a time, blending well on medium. Beat in the extract. Take a pastry bag and paint or drip a few lines of red food coloring inside. Add the meringue to the bag, slowly. Lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, snip the end of the piping bag and slowly create your cookies. Put in a 200 degree oven for 2 hours. Pull out and let cool at least an hour.
  2. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate wafers per bag instructions in the microwave. Gently, really gently, dip the bottoms of the cookies in the chocolate and place back on the parchment paper. Let cool and additional 2 hours and serve!
