Ingredients:

3 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sugar
1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon food coloring or dye (optional)

Instructions:
1️⃣ Preparation: Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix: In a stand mixer’s clean bowl, add egg whites, vanilla extract, cream of tartar, and salt. Start on low speed until frothy, then increase to high, adding sugar gradually until stiff, glossy peaks form (7-10 minutes).
3️⃣ Coloring: Fit a piping bag with a large tip. If using food coloring, drizzle it inside the bag before adding about 1/3 cup of meringue.
4️⃣ Piping: Carefully pipe the meringue into small cookies about 2 1/2 inches wide on the prepared sheets.
5️⃣ Baking: Bake on the center rack for 45 minutes, then turn off the oven and let the meringues sit inside for 1-2 hours to dry out.
6️⃣ Storage: Once cool, store meringues in an airtight container.
