2 regular-size peppermint candy canes (one green, one red), crushed
Directions
Let egg whites stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 225;. Add cream of tartar and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition. Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Transfer egg whites to piping bag. Pipe 1-1/2-in. cookies 2 in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle half with crushed red candy canes, half with green, or with both.
Bake until firm but not brown, 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Yum! I added 1/4 t peppermint extract to one batch and 1 t vanilla extract to another but still sprinkled both with crushed candy canes. 1 hr 45 min in my oven and the pans were rotated after 1hr.

These kisses have great flavor and I love the low fat alternative to the typical Christmas treat . But, I guess I didn't beat the egg- white mixture long enough for they turned out flat and like a cookie, still good though. I will try again.

I probably should have beaten the egg whites a while longer, since they weren't as stiff as I would have liked. The cookies still look beautiful and were nice and crunchy after 1 1/2 hours.

These are easy and fun to make. My boys help me crush the candy canes and I put the mixture into a piping frosting bag with an open star tip and they are very cute. My 5th grader just loves these. When I asked what he wanted to bring for his class Christmas party he said "glass cookies!" That is what he calls them. :)

I like to tint them lightly.

Very easy to make and very tasty. Used red and green striped candy canes. Piped them out on the smaller size so it made a lot of kisses. Great addition to our cookie trays. Will make again.
