Maple Sugar Meringues
Maple Sugar Meringues- Light as air cookies with a sweet maple taste and crisp crunch.
My kids like to call these “air cookies”. I can see why..they are light as air. Plus, they are really amazing and honestly, quite addicting.
Try and eat just one of these? Yeah, that’ll happen. 🤨
Ingredients Needed
- Egg whites
- Maple sugar
- Cream of tartar
- Coarse sugar
Ingredients Notes
Maple Sugar
If you can’t find any maple sugar, you can mix 1 cup of regular granulated sugar with a tablespoon of maple syrup or maple extract. If you wish to purchase, check out the recipe card.
Cream of Tartar
If desired, you can replace this with an equal amount of lemon juice.

How to Make Meringues
- First, let your egg whites come to room temperature. This will help your egg whites come together faster and better.
- Start whipping your egg whites. Use a whisk attachment with your electric mixer and start at medium speed. Add in cream of tartar and salt. Beat until soft peaks form.
- Once the soft peaks are formed, start adding in the maple sugar. Do this gradually.…about a tablespoon at a time. Adding the sugar too fast could deflate your egg whites.
- Continue whipping until stiff peaks are formed and the egg whites have a glossy finish.
- Scoop or pipe the meringue on top a prepared baking sheet. They should be 1-2 tablespoons of meringue. Then, if desired, sprinkle tops with coarse sugar.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 1 hour. Then, turn off the oven and let them sit in the oven for at least 1 hour…do not open oven! Check them after the hour to check their texture. If the tops are fully dried, remove them. If not, leave in for additional time.
- Store meringues in a covered container at room temperature.
