Idea came to me very unexpectedly, as I was going to make Meringue Snowflakes*, and I actually did, as I was piping them onto a parchment paper, I thought hm, I could make Santa Hats, and so I did. Aren’t they adorable!? I also found a perfect use for them..Cupcake Toppers, but by all means they can be enjoyed alone.I flavored them with orange extract and butter extract to give them a nice flavor.
* it didn’t work out very well, meringue snowflakes are very fragile and most of them broke when I tried to lift them off the parchment paper.
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon meringue powder
1tbl orange extract
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

I LOVE your Santa hats! So cute, and so versatile!
Thank you Diane. I sure love the sound of chocolate mint. I can't wait to see your meringue santa hats, they are really fun. I think using a round tip would be even more authentic.
So-CUTE.
One of my favorite cookies are meringue cookies. My great aunt always had mint chocolate chip meringues in the oven when I arrived. I've made the mint ones and loved them. I'm all for the Santa Hat theme this year and I'll have to make these 🙂
