Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Wipe the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk attachment down with white vinegar.

Add the egg whites, sugar, and salt to the bowl and whisk until fully combined.

Place over a small saucepan of simmering water, and whisk frequently until it reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) or until the sugar is completely dissolved and the egg whites do not feel grainy.

Move the bowl over to the stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Add the vanilla and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.

Transfer the meringue to a piping bag with a large star piping tip.

Pipe the meringue into kisses on the prepared baking sheet. They will not spread, so no need to space them out too much.

Bake the meringue cookies for 1 ½ - 2 ½ hours or until they are no longer sticky to the touch and can easily peel off of the baking sheet.

Turn the oven off and leave the meringue cookies inside to continue to dry out.

Add half of the chocolate and oil to a medium bowl, and heat in the microwave in 20 second increments until fully melted.

Stir in the finely chopped half of the chocolate until smooth.

Dip each meringue cookie in the chocolate and place on a piece of parchment paper to set.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Room Temperature Egg Whites 🥚
Bring egg whites to room temperature before whipping to achieve maximum volume and stability—cold eggs take longer to whip and create less impressive peaks.
Gradual Sugar Integration 🍬
Add granulated sugar one tablespoon at a time while whipping to ensure it dissolves completely and creates glossy, stiff peaks rather than grainy meringue.
Vanilla Bean Paste Timing ✨
Fold in vanilla bean paste gently at the very end after achieving stiff peaks to preserve the delicate structure and ensure even flavor distribution without deflating.
Low Temperature Baking 🌡️
Bake meringue cookies at 200°F or lower for 45-60 minutes to dry them out evenly without browning; this creates crispy, white cookies that maintain their delicate texture.
Chocolate Tempering for Smooth Coating 🍫
Temper your dark chocolate by melting two-thirds of it, then adding the remaining third to cool it naturally—this prevents blooming and creates a glossy, snappy chocolate shell.
