Fairy Kisses (Meringue Cookies with a Surprise)

20 servings

Ingredients

• 300 g Shortcrust pastry (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 pcs Egg whites
• 140 g Powdered sugar
• Salt (a pinch)
• 20 pcs Chocolate hazelnut candies (e.g. Toffifee-style)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 160 °C (320 °F) fan.
2. Cut small circles from the shortcrust pastry, slightly larger than the candies, and place on a baking sheet.
3. Set one candy flat-side up on each circle.
4. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, then slowly sift in the powdered sugar while continuing to beat, until a glossy, firm meringue forms.
5. Fill the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe small domes over the candies so they are completely covered.
6. Bake for about 15–20 minutes, until the tips are lightly browned.
