Chocolate Swirl Meringue Cookies
I highly recommend dipping these lovelies into the leftover melted chocolate – that is if there is any!
Perhaps served warm with fresh berries, ice cream, whipped cream – you name it 🙂
Oh, I have some ideas, people!
I will add that these go amazingly with a fresh, hot cup of coffee.
That is key, we want our coffee fresh and hot and right away in the morning.
I usually drink my coffee with half and half but with these, it’s good black without anything in it.
You could also do milk as I did as well for this photoshoot – just look at those cute heart straws!
When I saw those, I was like, ‘I know who’s “co-starring” with the Chocolate Swirl Meringue Cookies!’
Here’s looking at you Valentine’s Day!
I envision a couple, out there somewhere, enjoying these Chocolate Swirl Meringue Cookies over a candlelight table after dinner, with candles purchased handmade from Etsy perhaps, sipping whole organic milk from these paper heart straws same mason jar, staring into each other’s eyes, and then recycling the paper straws after use…okay, you get the picture…that would be a nice Valentine’s Day 🙂
Kitchen Tools
- I added the Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer – It has served me very well in many of my recipes and whips up an excellent meringue.
Web Story

Chocolate Swirl Meringue Cookies
Chocolate Swirl Meringue Cookies have only 5 ingredients and are a decadent alternative to a traditional cookie
Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites, (tip: it is easier to separate the eggs when they are cold)
- 3/4 cup sugar, (caster sugar or confectioner's sugar, so the mixture isn't gritty)
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate morsels
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Line 1 baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Tip: make sure that your mixing bowl is totally clean, any bit of grease or egg yolk and the meringue will not whip. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip egg whites on high until foamy. Sprinkle in cream of tartar and continue whipping on high until soft peaks. Gradually, add in sugar and the vanilla extract. Whip until stiff peaks form.
- Melt chocolate morsels in microwave, 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between until melted.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the meringue - do not mix in! - using 2 large spoons, spoon out meringue (I usually get 9 cookies on 1 sheet). This is where the artistry comes in, you don't want over mix the chocolate-meringue mixture so you get those nice swirls! Bake for 40-50 mins in oven until the cookies come off the parchement easily. 40 mins usually works best for me. Enjoy!

sounds delicious. My kids will like this 🙂
Hi Uma, Thank you, am so glad that you like them!
Mmmm. Meringue cookies. I want a plate of that…. or two.
Hi Daniel, Sending over a virtual plate!
These cookies are beautiful. So perfectly swirled. Stay warm this weekend! I’m in NJ too and the wind/cold are ridiculous today!
Hi Amanda, Thank you, I am so glad that you think they are beautiful – I try 🙂 I am making no attempt to leave the house this weekend, although I might have to for groceries soon! Not looking forward to that 😐
What an adorable cookie and so pretty too. I can see them at a tea or for a special occasion. I love chocolate but don’t indulge too often. I like bittersweet chocolate — the darker the better. A good chocolate mousse or ice cream would fit the bill. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I’m pinning it to make at a later date.
Hi Marisa, yes bittersweet is so good too and that would work with this recipe, thank you for pinning it! Every pin helps!
Wow I better not let my young nephews and nieces see this! Looks delicious and I am sure will; become a favorite.
