Gorgeous Meringue Cookies (that are totally delish, too)

These Meringue Cookies are perfect for that special someone on Valentine’s Day!

Gorgeous Valentine Meringue Cookies... beautiful and delicious.

I heart Valentine’s Day. I really do! Maybe one reason is that my handsome husband loves to make me feel extra special that day. He’s a hopeless romantic! For instance… the trip we just took to Hawaii… he surprised me with that for Christmas AND planned out every single lovely detail. He’s just like that!

So with this special holiday coming up pretty soon, I’m sharing this recipe from the AWESOME Shandi Tabler (who is officially a regular contributor to Tabler Party of Two!). Wouldn’t these pretty little cookies be perfect for Valentine’s Day? Or a baby shower? Or a bridal shower? Any special occasion, really!

Gorgeous Valentine Meringue Cookies... beautiful and delicious.

This recipe is for cookies with three different shapes. To create the rosette and star cookies, you’ll need to use the Wilton 1M Star Tip. For the “kisses” cookies, use the Wilton 1A Round Tip. To create the rosette cookies, start in the center and work (pipe) your way outward in a growing circle. For the star and kisses cookies, just squeeze the bag for a count of two.

To create your three colors, simply divide your meringue into three batches. Leave one of them white. Then use Wilton Gel Food Color to make the other two a light pink and a darker pink. To make cookies that are both pink and white, use a spatula to put a thin layer of white meringue in the bag. Then fill the rest of the bag with pink meringue.
