How to Make Meringue Cookies
- 1Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil.

- 3Remove half of meringue to another bowl; stir in cocoa until blended. Spoon tablespoons of both meringues onto prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Each making about 44 cookies - half vanilla flavored and half cocoa flavored. Or bake until meringues feel dry and crisp all the way through, about 3 hours.
