Emoji Meringues

Meringues are a nice light treat and I decided to have fun and make Emoji meringues! I was inspired by my favorite youtuber  Ro of "Nerdy Nummies". I followed her recipe for the "Poo " emoji merigngues. You can find that recipe here. 

For the smiley emojis I used the following recipe;

Ingredients: 
-3 tsp of meringue powder
-1/2 cup of sugar
-1/4 cup of water
-1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
-yellow food coloring

Directions:
-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
-Beat the meringue powder, half of the sugar and  water  for a few minutes. Then gradually beat in the rest of the sugar, vanilla extract and a few drops of yellow food coloring. Make sure meringue mxture  is stiff and forms peaks. 
- Line a cookie sheet with pachment paper. 
-Place about a tbs of the meringue mixture on the parchment paper and smooth out into a circular cookie shape. 
-Bake for 10 minutes. Then turn off the oven and let the meringues sit in the oven for an hour. 
-Once cool, decorate with royal icing.
