- The meringue cookies can also be made ahead of time. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, beat together 4 egg whites and 1/2 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a 6-inch circle. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is dry and crisp. Let cool completely before crumbling.
