MERINGUE COOKIES

Yield: 60 cookies
Ingredients
3 large egg whites
1-1/2 teaspoons clear or regular vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Dash salt
2/3 cup sugar
Directions
1. Place egg whites in a small bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 250. Add vanilla, cream of tartar and salt to egg whites; beat on
medium speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on
high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until stiff glossy
peaks form, about 7 minutes.
3. Cut a small hole in the tip of a pastry bag or in a corner of a food-safe plastic
bag; insert a #32 star tip. Transfer meringue to bag. Pipe 1-1/4-in.-diameter cookies
2 in. apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
4. Bake 40-45 minutes or until firm to the touch. Turn off oven (do not open oven
door); leave meringues in oven 1 hour. Remove from oven; cool completely on
baking sheets. Remove meringues from paper; store in an airtight container at room
temperature.
