Cook Time: 1 Hour 30 Minutes
Ready In: 1 Hour 45 Minutes
Servings: 12
"Crisp light meringue cookies, made without flour, have the exotic flavors of roses and cardamom."
Ingredients:
2 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
2/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons rose extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 drop red food coloring (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar together with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
3. Place sugar, water, rose extract, cardamom, salt, and food coloring in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer the mixture for a minute or two, stirring constantly, and very slowly pour the syrup in a thin stream into the egg whites, beating constantly with electric mixer on high speed. Beat until the syrup is incorporated and the meringue is stiff and shiny.
4. Drop by spoonfuls or pipe into rosettes with a star tip onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the meringues are hard, 1 to 1 1/2 hours; turn off the oven, and allow them to cool inside the oven to finish baking the insides.

New Pantene AgeDefy Shampoo & Conditioner


I was pleased to receive a two new products from Pantene this past week through the Vogue Influencer Network. Pantene Experts just launched AgeDefy Shampoo & Conditioner plus an Advanced Thickening Treatment. I received the shampoo and conditioner.  I had to try it right away so it went into my shower and I used it the very next morning.  I have been using it for a few days now.  The AgeDefy Shampoo and Conditioner smells luxurious and mad my hair look and feel soft and lustrous...even after only a few washes. I used both the shampoo and conditioner each time.
Pantene created the AgeDefy line to help fight 7 signs of aging hair.  I know my hair was not as shiny and bouncy as it used to be but I didn't realize it was my age! I love that AgeDefy uses pro-vitamins and caffeine to restore bounce and luster.  The AgeDefy line of shampoo, conditioner and Advanced Thickening Treatment can make your hair act up to 10 years younger..who wouldn't love that.  I work so hard to keep my skin looking younger, why not my hair?  I did notice a difference and am hoping my hair will continue to look shinier and healthier as I keep using it. I will let you all know.

*Thickens existing hair strands; when used as a 3 step system: AgeDefy Shampoo, Conditioner, and Advanced Thickening Treatment.


Disclosure:  I received a free sample of Pantene AgeDefy Shampoo and Conditioner through Vogue Influencer Network in order to review the products.  As always, my opinion is my own.
