Super cute and easy. Followed recipe exactly. Be sure to let egg whites sit out for 30 minutes. Also important to add sugar SLOWLY! I made a batch tonight and added colorful sprinkles and a few candy snowflakes to them.
They turned out perfectly. We didn't have any green food coloring, so we used blue and topped with darker blue sugar sprinkles and put a white snowflake at the top. They were very pretty and my kids love them, especially since they remind them of Frozen!
These were really light and airy, but make sure you have the correct pastry tip or some skill with the presentation, because ours wound up looking like an episode of Nailed it! They were really delicious though.
good way to use egg whites, cute
