Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
Using a stand electric mixer, start beating egg whites and lemon juice on slow speed.
Slowly add granulated sugar and increase mixer’s speed to high. Beat for at least 10 minutes or until stiff peaks start to form.
Add green gel food coloring and mix until meringue batter is completely tinted.
Scoop meringue into a piping bag with Wilton round piping tip #8 attached. Pipe out Christmas tree shapes, starting with a base of about 1 ½ inches in diameter, then working your way up, to a thinner, cone-shaped tree, about 2 ½ inches in size.
Top off each meringue cookie with a gold sprinkle.
Bake for 2 hours. Once time is up, turn off the heat and keep the cookies in the oven for an additional 30 minutes.
Allow to cool and sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. Enjoy!
