Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth without Sacrificing Your Fitness Goals
A Guilt-Free Treat for the Health-Conscious
Halloween treats can quickly spiral out of control, but what if you could indulge without compromising your fitness goals? Look no further! These three-ingredient cookies are a game-changer, providing a stellar arm workout to boot.
The Magic Three: Egg Whites, Sugar, and Cream of Tartar
To create these guilt-free treats, you’ll need:
- 3 large egg whites at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 225 degrees. Cut parchment paper to fit your baking sheets, tracing 1½ inch circles onto the paper in pencil. Reverse the paper before placing it on the baking sheets.
Beat, Mix, and Whip
In a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites on medium-low until they become frothy and opaque. Add the cream of tartar and increase the mixer speed to medium. Continue mixing until the egg whites hold a soft peak when the mixer is lifted.
Add Sugar and Whip into Shape
Up the mixer speed to medium-high and add the sugar a little at a time until completely combined. Continue mixing until the egg whites hold firm peaks when the mixer is removed. Finally, whip on high until the peaks are stiff and don’t droop anymore.
Pipe and Bake
Spoon the batter into a gallon-size plastic bag or a cake decorating bag. Cut off the tip of one corner of the bag. Squeeze out circular peaks onto the baking sheets. Bake for 90 minutes, then allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating.
Get Creative and Enjoy!
With these low-fat cookies, you can indulge without sacrificing your fitness goals. Plus, the mixing process provides a great arm workout! Get creative with your decorations and enjoy your guilt-free treats.
