Microwave meringue cookies are a quick way to use an egg white left over from baking. Knead one egg white with 300 g powdered sugar by hand to make a thick mixture resembling soft modeling clay, which you can flavor with vanilla or coconut extract. Shape the mixture into more than 20 small balls and place just four at a time on a plate lined with a paper towel, since they spread in the microwave. The meringues are ready in about 10 minutes, including prep, and work well as cake decorations or small gifts.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Place 300 g powdered sugar in a bowl, add the egg white, and mix thoroughly by hand. The mixture will be thick, with a consistency similar to soft modeling clay.
Shape the mixture into tiny balls. Tip: Add vanilla or coconut extract before mixing to enhance the flavor of the meringues.
You will have more than 20 balls. Place them on a shallow plate lined with a paper towel, no more than 4 at a time and spaced well apart, since they spread in the microwave.
Microwave the meringues for 2–3 minutes, depending on your microwave's power. As a general rule, once the meringues have puffed up, give them about 30 seconds more to cook through in the center.

Tip: Make the balls very small, about the size of a hazelnut—they expand to several times their size in the microwave. Let the finished meringues cool on the plate for a little while, as they firm up only as they cool.
