Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 Tablespoon chocolate chips for decorating
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 225° F.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla until foamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until stiff. Meringue should hold a shape well.
- Top a baking sheet with parchment. Fill a piping bag or zip loc bag with the meringue (snip off the corner of the zip loc if using). Pipe out ghost shapes (see note) onto the parchment. Bake for 45 minutes, then turn the oven off and let sit in the closed oven (no peeking) another 45 minutes if possible.
- When meringues are cool, melt the chocolate in the microwave 10-15 seconds at a time, stirring between each burst. Use a clean narrow object (I used a butter plate knife with a narrow, rounded tip) to “paint” chocolate eyes and mouth.
Notes
- To form cookies, I concentrated on piping out a big blob, pulling back, slightly then doing two smaller blobs. Other bakers reported piping circles.
