Ingredient list to make mint meringue kisses:
2/3 cup sugar
3 large egg whites
2 teaspoons minced fresh mint (or 1 teaspoon mint extract)
1/4 teaspoon salt
green food coloring (optional)

Step 1: Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Step 2: Beat salt and egg whites with a mixer at high speed until foamy.

Step 3: Gradually add sugar to the egg white mix and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Step 4: Add the mint and a couple drops of green food coloring and beat until blended.

Step 5: Spoon the mixture into a cake decorating piping bag with a decorative star tip. You can also use any large plastic bag and just cut off the very tip of one of the corners to make a piping bag (it just won't have the decorative star shape).

Step 6: Squeeze the meringue mixture onto a baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Make little mounds that are about 1 inch across. You should be able to make about 100 kisses.

Step 7: Bake at 300 degrees for about 25 minutes or until dry.

Step 8: Slide the wax paper from the pan and let the kisses cool.

Step 9: Remove the kisses from the wax paper and store in any airtight container or zip lock bag.
