How Long do Chocolate Covered Meringue Cookies Last?
When stored in an air tight container, away from heat these chocolate covered meringue cookies will last for 2 weeks. They will keep in the freezer for up to one month.
How do you know when Meringue Cookies are done?
Meringue cookies are cooked on low heat for a long period of time. You know they are done when you can easily remove them from the baking sheet. You want to make sure they do not get brown and look like they have been baked at all, which is why you will cook them on a low heat for a long period of time.
How to Store Chocolate Covered Meringue Cookies?
Store meringue cookies in an airtight container away from any heat or moisture. It is VERY important that you allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them.
If it is summer time, or your house is kept at a warm temperature it is best to store them in the fridge.
How to Freeze Meringue Cookies
If you are not going to be eating the cookies right away one thing you can do is freeze meringue cookies. It is important that you carefully defrost them, as they will get softened if you are not careful and they get any moisture.
After the meringue cookies are completely cooled from being in the oven, put them in an airtight container and place them in the fridge for a few hours.
After they have been in the fridge for a few hours bringing down the temperature even more, move the container of cookies from the fridge to the freezer.
I find it best to use a shallow plastic container, place a layer of meringue cookies and then place a piece of parchment paper on top of the layer of cookies and then another layer of cookies. You do not want to cram the cookies into the container, you want them to not get squished in the container.
Meringue cookies will keep in the freezer for up to one month when stored properly.

How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Meringue Cookies
Line to bake sheets with parchment paper or silicone mat. Preheat your oven to 175 degrees F.
Combine the sugar, egg whites and tartar in the bowl from your mixer over (making sure your bowl is not touching the water) simmering water. Constantly whisk the egg whites until the sugar has dissolved.
Attach the whisk attachment on a stand mixer or a hand held mixture, slowly beat egg mixture. Pour the Jell-O, and strawberry mixture into the bowl in a slow, steady stream. Add in vanilla extract and any food coloring .
Slowly increase the speed and continue to beat mixture until stiff peaks have almost formed. Mixture is ready when whisk attachment dipped into mixture leaves a curled but stiff peak when removed.
Transfer mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a open star tip. Pipe the cookies onto the lined baking sheets. Bake for 1 ½ hours, then turn off oven and leave the door slightly ajar for meringues to cool down with the oven.
In a microwave heated bowl, melt chocolate chips on high. Stirring chocolate in 30 second interval until chocolate chips are just melted. Pour some of the chocolate onto a small plate. Dip the bottom of the meringue cookies into the chocolate.
Place them back onto the sheet pan and let the chocolate set for an hour.
