1/2
teaspoon vanilla
-
1/8
teaspoon cream of tartar
-
green or red food coloring

2/3
cup sugar

6
ounces bittersweet chocolate or semisweet chocolate, melted

Purchased decorator icing (optional)
1. In a medium mixing bowl allow egg whites to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, grease a cookie sheet; set aside.
2. Add vanilla, cream of tartar, and food coloring to the egg whites. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating about 5 minutes on high speed until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight).
3. Spoon meringue into pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch round tip. Pipe small 1-inch-high mounds that end in an angled tip about 1 inch apart on prepared sheet.
4. Bake in a 300 degree F oven about 15 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool.
5. When cookies are cool, dip bottoms into melted chocolate, then into chopped walnuts. Set on waxed paper until chocolate is firm. If desired, add a dot of colored icing to each tip. Makes 48 cookies.

Beautiful and super cute! Easy to make and fun, but a bit time consuming Can also bake 3 different size balls and glue them together with frosting to make snowmen. 1¿ high hats equal 100, not 48. (Need to crush nuts so they are not too big for hats) Freshly baked they tasted like a yummy crisp/flaky marshmallow. 1 day later with the chocolate/nuts, NO ONE liked them (5 adult opinions). They were chewy and the flavors DIDN¿T go well together. Would recommend them ONLY for eatable decorations.
