These cardamom meringue cookies are light, crunchy, sweet, citrusy and minty all in one bite. The touch of ground cardamom adds a new and delicious twist to the classic. The recipe is easy to make and a great way to use up leftover egg whites.

Step 1. Heat the oven to 250 degrees F. Add egg whites, cream of tartar and cardamom to a very clean mixing bowl. Whip the mix with your standing or electric mixer until the egg whites get frothy.
Step 2. Slowly add the sugar. Continue to whip until all the sugar is incorporated and you have firm, glossy peaks.
Step 3. Grab a piping bag and a tip of your choice (I like to use a 1M or a French tip). Pipe about 40 cookies (each about 1 inch in diameter) onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Step 4. Bake the cookies for 40 minutes. Turn the oven off and without opening the oven door, let the cookies cool in the closed oven for another hour.
