Description

These divinity cookies are light and delicate no-bake cookies made with egg whites and corn syrup.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 In a 2-quart saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water. Cook to hard-ball stage (260 degrees F, or 125 degrees C), stirring only until sugar dissolves.
