- Add meringue to a piping bag or gallon size baggie. Snip off a corner or use a wide star tip, then pipe onto a cookie sheet covered in a silpat or parchment paper. Pipe close together, as they won't spread or rise.
- Place in 300 degree oven and immediately turn off heat. Leave in cooling oven for two hours or overnight before removing. Remove from cookie sheet carefully to avoid breakage, then store in a tightly sealed container for up to a week.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries when available. If fresh aren't on hand, you can substitute them with raspberry extract, which is found in most grocery stores.
