Looking for something fun and delicious to do with the kids this summer? Try these Easy Jello Meringue Cookies and you’ll see smiles all around!
I remember making these a lot of years ago in a kitchen at a house I was a nanny for during my teen years.
I was left with a huge binder full of fun and classic ideas to make with the kids during our time together that summer.
For whatever reason, these jello meringue cookies stuck with me and when I had my own kids I made them a few times when they were young.
They loved them because each kid could choose their own favorite Jello flavor.
That’s the thing with these.
They can be 100 different flavors and you can always try something new, because jello always has new flavors.
I made mango ones with a box of mango jello I’d been hoarding for awhile. They were SO good!
They are relatively simple to make even for a younger child, and the hardest part is waiting for them to be ready to eat.
This recipe yields about three dozen small meringues or 1 1/2 dozen large easy jello meringue cookies.
If you want to be creative, use a piping bag to pipe them into pretty shapes.
We just spooned them onto the parchment paper because we didn’t care. We just wanted to eat them.
You do what feels right to you and what your kids will have the most fun with!

* Granulated Sugar: To get the granulated sugar to the right consistency for the best meringues, pour the cup of sugar into your blender and pulse it several times to get it to a finer grade. It really DOES make a difference!Easy Jello Meringue Cookies

Notes
*Jello - You can either use one flavor of jello and use all three tablespoons of that, OR, separate your meringue into 3 equal portions and use only 1 tablespoon per portion of 3 different flavors or types of jello. For this recipe, I divided in half and used 1 1/2 tablespoons of jello powder per portion.
