Ingredients

  • 4 large egg whites room temp
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 170°F. Line baking sheets with foil, set aside.
  2. Place the egg whites into the body of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Start whisking the egg whites on medium-low speed and slowly pour in the sugar.
  3. Once all the sugar is added, add the vanilla extract and cream of tartar.
  4. Whip at medium-high speed until you reach stiff peaks. The mixture will be glossy and bright white. This will take a few minutes.
  5. Place the meringue into a piping bag and pipe shapes onto the foil that are similar in size, about 1 & ½ inches wide and up to 1 & ½ inches tall. You can pipe them about ½ inch apart as the cookies will not spread while baking.
  6. Bake for 2 hours. Turn the oven off and let them cool for at least 2 hours but I recommend overnight if you can.
  7. If you've tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or star ratings.
