Calories 9kcal
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, add the egg whites.
- Begin mixing and sprinkle in the cream of tartar and salt.
- Beat on high until very foamy and soft peaks begin to form.
- Slowly incorporate the sugar as you continue to whip on high.
- Once the mixture is no longer translucent and stiff peaks form, check that the sugar has dissolved by rubbing a little bit between your fingers (if it's no longer grainy in texture the sugar has dissolved).
- Then, beat the vanilla extract into the mixture for just a couple seconds.
- Spoon the batter into a piping bag with a large star tip or other large pastry tip.
- Pipe onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat.
- Bake at 225°F for 45 minutes.
- Without opening the oven door, turn off the oven and allow the cookies to continue to bake and cool slowly for another 45 minutes.
