Cute Meringue Cookie Recipe

Ella and I just got back from an amazing vacation at Universal Studios Florida (which I reviewed here), and we’re experiencing some serious post-travel nostalgia for all of the fun and food we experienced at the parks.

One of Ella’s favorite parts of Universal Studios was Seuss Landing, where there were Seuss-themed rides, character meet and greets, and of course – Seuss-styled snacks!

They didn’t have these gluten-free meringue cookies on offer, but they did have Goose Juice and Moose Juice, Cat in the Hat sugar cookies, create-your-own cotton candy, and many other delicious confections.

These “Green Egg” cookies don’t taste eggy at all. They have a light, pleasant crunch and sweet vanilla flavor. Like all good meringues, they just melt in your mouth.

This recipe would be a great addition to a Seuss-themed party, or as a classroom treat during Read Across America Day – or, as a fun way to relive (or look forward to) your Universal Studios vacation.

Ingredients for Gluten-free Meringues

  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup powdered icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Green food coloring (I used leaf green)

Tip: you can leave out the cream of tartar if you’re patient enough to whip your egg whites until they hold a stiff peak.
