Filipino Meringue Cookies or Paciencia Cookies Ingredients:

1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filipino Meringue Cookies or Paciencia Cookies Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 275° F or 140° C.
Prepare cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Sift all purpose flour and baking powder and set aside.
Beat the egg whites in the bowl until they start to foam and stiff, add sugar little by little and beat until meringue is glossy with stiff peaks.
Fold in all purpose flour then add the vanilla extract.
Attach the coupling into a piping bag but don’t put any icing nozzle. Spoon the Icing mixture into the bag.
If you dont have a piping bag you can use wax paper shaped into a cone or a ziploc bag with the tip snipped.
Pipe the Icing batter like a flat coin sized rounds about 1 1/2″ in diameter on the parchment-paper-lined cookie sheets.
Make sure to put space between cookies one inch apart.
Bake until lightly toasted, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Leave to cool in the baking pans before transferring into an air-tight jar.
