The secret of snow cookies

In order for the whipped egg whites to have the right consistency, proper attention must be paid to the preparation of the snow. There are two basic options for whipping egg whites with sugar. The classic option consists in whipping the egg whites themselves to a semi-solid state and then gradually adding sugar to them in small amounts. It is important to whip for a really long time. The second option is to whip the egg whites themselves again to a semi-solid state and then whip in a hot sugar syrup, which you prepare by boiling sugar with a little water.

The taste of this Christmas pastry can be easily made special by adding other ingredients to the basic recipe for snow cookies, i.e. a mixture of egg whites and sugar. Most often, various extracts are used, for example vanilla or almond, as well as chopped or ground nuts. But you can also use almonds or chocolate.

A great trick is to add a small amount of lemon juice to the snow to help make the mixture really dense and stiff. Ready-made snow cookies can be decorated not only with various sprinkles, but also with chocolate coating, chopped almonds or nuts.
