Honey Italian Meringue Filling

  • In the bowl of stand mixer beat the egg whites and lemon juice until soft peaks form. 
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat cook honey until a candy honey becomes bubbly and frothy. 
  • Reduce mixer speed to medium while slowly pouring the hot honey into the whipped eggs. Increase speed to high and beat for 10-20 minutes. Meringue should look thick and glossy once done. 
  • Makes sure cookies are cool before assembly.
  • For sweeter cookie, add more honey
