Fat-Free Meringue Kisses

Adults: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Together: Line a baking tray with parchment or a silicone sheet.

Together: In a large stand mixer fitted with a whisk, beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form.

Kids: Add the sugar slowly, a few spoonfuls at a time, while beating, until the meringue is stiff and shiny. Add the vanilla.

Together: Using a large spoon, drop tablespoons of meringue onto the prepared baking sheet in the shape of kisses, about two inches apart. Or cut the corner off a large plastic bag, fill with meringue, and squeeze out the kisses.

Kids: Sprinkle with colored sugar and small candy hearts or any edible decorations.

Adults: Lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees. Bake the meringues for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Adults: Remove from oven, let cool on the tray for 2 minutes, then remove to wire rack and cool completely.

Together: Store in tightly sealed metal container, as a plastic container will make the meringues soggy. * Recipe makes 30 to 35 kisses. Serving is two per person
