Raspberry-flavored meringue cookies with a crispy outside and a chewy inside. These treats are ideal for bringing a burst of fruity flavor to your dessert table.

Ingredients: 3 large egg whites. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar. 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, crushed. A pinch of salt.

Instructions: Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 225F 110C. Put parchment paper on the bottom of a baking sheet. Use a dry, clean bowl to mix the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat them on medium speed until they become foamy. Slowly add the sugar while beating the mixture. Turn up the speed and beat until you get stiff, shiny peaks. Carefully fold in the vanilla extract, crushed raspberries, and a pinch of salt. Do not mix the meringue too much or it will lose its shape. Put the meringue mixture into a piping bag with a star-shaped tip. Place small meringue kisses on the baking sheet that has been prepared. Heat the oven to 350F. Bake the meringues for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they feel dry to the touch and can be easily taken off the parchment paper. Don't open the oven door until the meringues are cool and dry. Leave them inside for about an hour. Slowly take the meringues off the parchment paper once they are cool. Enjoy the raspberry meringue cookies after you bring them out. Any leftovers should be kept in a container that won't let air in so they stay crisp.
