Vinilla Meringue Cookies

   

I made these and they were all gone within a day. They are nice and crunchy with a roasted marshmallow flavor, and they are easy to make.

Ingredients:

3 egg whites

      1-1/2 teaspoons clear vanilla extract

      ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

      Dash salt

      ¾ cup sugar

Directions:

Place egg whites in a small bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Add the vanilla, cream of tartar, and salt. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high till stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved. This takes about 7 minutes.

 

Down to the messy part; put meringue mixture in a pastry bag fitted with a 1M star tip. Pipe a 1-1/4 diameter cookies onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

Bake in a 250 degree oven for 40-45 minutes or until set and dry, let cool. Carefully remove from parchment paper and store in an air tight container.
