How To Make Lemon Meringue Strawberry Shortcake Cookies:
You will need:
For The Cookies:
-Butter
-Sugar
-Flour
For The Meringue:
-Egg Whites
-Powdered Sugar
-Touch Of Vinegar
-Lemon Zest
You will need to make the shortbread cookies first by beating the butter and sugar together in a bowl or using a kitchen aid. Then the flour is folded to create the shortbread paste.
Once they are done, you can make the meringue while the cookies are cooling.
Making meringue is a lot easier than you think. You literally need to whip egg whites with a touch of vinegar using your kitchen aid (the vinegar helps stabilize the eggs) The whites are whipped with the vinegar, until airy and fluffy, then the powdered sugar is added gradually. You want stiff peaks. Voila, you have lemon meringue!
After all that is done, dollop some meringue on top of half the cookies, then add sliced strawberries, close the top with another cookie, and spread/pipe the meringue on top. Voila! Enjoy!
