    Nutella and almond swirled in a fluffy pillow of goodness making Nutella Almond Meringue Cookies pure perfection!Nutella Almond Meringue cookies…Ahhhhhh!  That is kind of how I feel when making them and when taking my first bite out of them.  They are light, crispy, chewy, airy, sweet and really all the textures that you could dream of all wrapped up in one cookie.  

    There is a technique that needs to be followed that make a meringue cookie great!  There are only a few ingredients that make these sweet treats, but they sure can be finicky to make (practice makes perfect)!

    Egg Whites
    Egg whites is the main ingredient that needs to be whipped to stiff peak for the first step.  Allow the egg whites to get full volume will make give these cookies the crunchy outside, chewy center and will keep whatever shape you  choose to make your cookies into.  Adding the sugar in parts in the next most important part to guarantee that you don't deflate the egg whites that you just worked so hard to get perfect!  Add one cup of sugar in the mixer and then fold the remaining half cup with a spatula…don't cheat this step.  

    Flavor
    Heres the great part, Meringue Cookies are like marshmallows, you can basically add in any flavor that you love.  In order to keep the meringue fluffy, choose a lighter ingredient such as an extract,  chopped nuts, melted chocolate and you don't need a lot to make the flavor come through.  We love Nutella in my family so naturally Nutella Almond Meringue Cookies are a huge hit.  I added a hint of almond extract, swirled Nutella and crushed almonds for texture.  

    Baking
    Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F.  Baking meringue cookies on a low temperature will give the crunch, chewy center and keep the cookies white and beautiful.  Here;s the thing, if it is humid outside, they will get sticky and you might need to keep them in a closed oven overnight.  This is where they are finicky, and bake time could change.

    Enjoy
    Now its time to enjoy these pillowy meringue cookies.  Once they are baked and cooled, you can eat them immediately or store them in an air tight container or zip lock bag to stay fresh.
