Meringue Cookies


These meringue cookies are super easy to make and are very addictive. The recipe calls for 2 egg whites (room temp), 1/8 tsp of salt, 1/8 tsp cream of tartar, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and 1/2 cup sugar.  The oven needs to be on 225 degrees. To make the cookies you mix the egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla in the mixer at a high speed until it starts to get frothy then you slowly add in the sugar. You have to add in the sugar slowly so that you do not collapse the meringue. You need to mix it full speed until peaks start to form. Then use two spoons and spoon small dabs onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for an hour switching the pans halfway through. After the hour is up turn off the oven and leave the cookies in for a couple of hours. And then you have meringue cookies. They are like little pieces of candy heaven.
