Acorn Meringue Cookies

Acorn meringue cookies are adorable cocoa-flavored meringue kisses dipped in chocolate and coated with ground walnuts. They look like acorns, but taste like the crispiest little treat you’ve ever had!

These little meringue cookies are cute, but much more importantly, they really taste great. The cocoa flavored kisses have that super crispy, airy texture that meringues are famous for, but lest they get too light and airy, we dip their base in yummy chocolate and coat that with crushed walnuts. The final effect is a perfect bite (or two!)

Acorn meringue cookies are naturally gluten-free, and can easily be made keto using your choice of sugar substitute and keto-friendly chocolate for dipping.
