Servings: 30
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites room temperature
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- pinch salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 225°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt on low speed until foamy. Increase the speed to high, and gradually add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, waiting 15-20 seconds between each addition. Beat the egg mixture until stiff peaks form, and the mixture is thick and shiny. The sugar should be completely dissolved. Add the vanilla extract and mix well to combine.
- Add the egg white mixture to a large piping bag with a large open star tip. Pipe the meringue onto the prepared cookie sheet in desired shapes. Bake for 1 hour at 225°F, then turn off the oven and let cool completely for 1-2 hours. The finished cookies should be crisp. Store in an airtight container to prevent the cookies from getting soggy.
