PREP TIME: 15 minutes COOK TIME: 2 hours (plus 2 hours left in oven) YIELD: 24 clouds
TOOLS/EQUIPMENT
2 baking sheets
Parchment paper
Stand mixer (or hand mixer and a large bowl)
Small spatula
1 tbsp to get the clouds shape
Ingredients:
4 large egg whites, at room temperature
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
¼ teaspoon table salt
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 200°F. But first, move one oven rack to the upper third of the oven, and the other to the lower third. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, add the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt. With a Hand mixer, blend on medium until the whites start getting foamy, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue beating until the egg whites become thick and opaque, 1 to 2 additional minutes.
4. Add the sugar. With the hand mixer on medium-high, slowly add the confectioners’ sugar to the bowl, about 1 table- spoon at a time. Continue beating until the egg whites are shiny and stiff peaks form, 7 to 9 minutes.
5. Using a small spatula transfer little mounds of the egg white mixture into the 1tbsp then get it out using your finger onto the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between clouds.
6. Bake for 2 hours. Turn the oven off and let the clouds remain in the oven for an additional 1 to 2 hours, or until dry and crispy.
TIP: If your meringues turned brown, use an oven thermometer to double check that your oven temperature is correct. If it’s off, you may need to reduce your cooking temperature next time and peek through with the oven light on to keep an eye on things.

When I was a little girl, we didn’t have much money. We certainly didn’t have money for extras like cookies, but children like cookies. I was no exception. Thankfully, we go WIC. WIC, for those that may not know, stands for Women, Infants, and Children. WIC gives food to poor women who have infants and young children. One of the food items every month was a very large can of peanut butter. My mom came up with a recipe for peanut butter cookies. It was so easy. It only needed 3 ingredients. I loved those cookies. I still use the recipe with my children today. My daughter really likes them because of how simple it is.
Ingredients:

“A favorite treat for the Purim holiday! It has always worked better for me if I cover the dough and refrigerate overnight.”
Ingredients
3 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup orange juice
5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup fruit preserves, any flavor
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until lightly and fluffy. Stir in the oil, vanilla and orange juice. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter to form a stiff dough. If dough is not stiff enough to roll out, stir in more flour. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or the rim or a drinking glass. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of preserves into the center of each one. Pinch the edges to form three corners.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheet before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
