Title: ANISE MERINGUE KISSES
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 48 servings
3 Egg whites
1/8 ts Cream of tartar
1/2 c Sugar
1 1/2 ts Ground anise seeds
The flavor of anise in these light cookies makes them
a great after- dinner dessert. Some people prefer the
center to be soft and chewy, but if you prefer the dry
melt-in-your-mouth type of meringue, turn off the oven
and, with the door closed, let them stand 30 minutes
to an hour. These cookies are generally baked on
parchment paper, but we have found that regular bond
paper makes a very acceptable substitute. (By Times
Food Stylists) Beat egg whites until frothy. Add cream
of tartar and beat to soft peaks. Gradually beat in
sugar. Continue beating until stiff and glossy. Beat
in anise. Using pastry bag, pipe onto parchment-lined
baking sheets. Bake at 275 degrees F. 30 minutes.
Makes about 4 dozen kisses. NOTE: If drier meringue is
desired, turn off oven and let kisses stand in oven
with door closed about 1 hour. Each kiss contains
about: 9 calories; 4 mg sodium; 0 cholesterol; 0 fat;
