Ingredients
Scale
- 300g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 100g Cold butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 Egg
- 50ml Heavy cream
- 120g Sugar
- 48 pieces Toffifee candy
- 4 Large egg whites (about 160g)
- 180g White sugar
- 2 tsp White vinegar
- 1 1⁄3 tbsp Corn starch
Instructions
- Prepare the Sugar Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the flour and cubed cold butter. Cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs. Add the baking powder, egg, heavy cream, and sugar, and knead until the mixture forms a dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Meringue: While the cookie dough chills, start preparing the meringue. In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to whip until the mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks. Gently fold in the vinegar and corn starch.
- Shape and Assemble: Preheat the oven to 120°C (250°F). Roll the chilled dough on a floured surface to less than 0.5 cm thickness. Cut out small rounds slightly larger than a Toffifee candy. Place these disks on a baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm apart. Top each disk with a Toffifee candy, flat side up.
- Top with Meringue and Bake: Spoon or pipe the prepared meringue over each cookie to form a swirl or nest shape covering the Toffifee candy. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour or until the meringue is dry and can be easily lifted off the baking sheet. Let the cookies cool completely before serving.
