Raspberry Confetti Meringues

SAVE FOR LATER

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season, finishing out 2025 on a joyous note, and gearing up for a great 2026! With many of you going to New Year’s Eve and Day parties, I wanted to share a simple, festive, fun little cookie that you can easily whip up — these Raspberry Confetti Meringues.

After eating lots of heavy, indulgent holiday food, these are delightfully light, airy, and waistline-friendly. I absolutely LOVE meringue cookies — they’ve got a great crispy crunch, but then melt in your mouth.

This version features a raspberry meringue cookie, studded with mini chocolate chips on the inside, and topped with cheery little sprinkles. I used star-shaped sprinkles, since they seemed especially celebratory, but any kind will do.

This recipe is particularly fabulous because it’s so adaptable. Don’t like raspberry?

Use a different JELL-O flavor like cherry, orange, lime, or strawberry. Don’t have mini-chocolate chips on hand?

Fold in extra sprinkles instead, or omit anything from the inside of the cookie, and simply top with sprinkles. Have a particular party color scheme you’re working with?

Tweak your cookie and sprinkles color and flavor to best work with that theme. Really, the possibilities are endless!

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 3 egg whites at room temperature
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3 1/2 tablespoons raspberry Jell-O the traditional kind, NOT the sugar-free kind
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips optional, you can omit if you prefer
• 1/4 cup approximately colorful sprinkles, for topping

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 225º F.
2. Cover 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and secure paper with masking tape (or use a Silat-type liner instead).
3. Place egg whites and salt in a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer; beat with a mixer at medium speed until foaming.
4. Increase speed to high, and add JELL-O powder and granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
5. Add vinegar and gently mix.
6. Gently fold in mini chocolate chips, if using.
7. Spoon batter into a pastry bag fitted with a large circle tip.
8. Pipe roughly 4-dozen mounds onto the prepared baking sheets, and top with sprinkles as pictured.
9. Bake at 225º for 1 hour.
10. Turn oven off; cool meringues in closed oven 1 1/2 hours or until dry.
11. Carefully remove the meringues from paper.

Notes

This recipe is very adaptable. You can use a different JELL-O flavor like cherry, orange, lime, or strawberry. If you don't have mini chocolate chips, fold in extra sprinkles instead or omit them. You can also adjust the color and flavor of the sprinkles to match a party theme.
