Instructions
Preparing the Meringue
Step 1
Set the oven to 200° F.
Step 2
Separate the egg whites one at a time into a small bowl. Then transfer each egg white to the bowl of your stand mixer.
Step 3
You really don't want to get any broken yolks in your bowl so separating them individually contains the damage if anything happens.
Step 4
Add the cream or tartar and salt to the bowl then begin mixing on low and gradually increase the speed to high.
Step 5
Once the egg whites have frothed up you can begin SLOWLY sprinkling in the sugar. Then add your vanilla.
Step 6
Your meringue is done once it has a Thick marshmallowy texture and can hold a nice peak
Making the Meringue
Step 7
Transfer your meringue to a piping bag fitted with a large star attachment. You can also use a piping bag or a similar bag with the tip snipped off.
Step 8
Add small dollops of meringue to the corners of your baking sheet and press the parchment paper down. The meringue acts like glue and gives you a nice stable base to pipe on.
Step 9
Pipe your meringues allowing at least an inch of space between each for airflow.
Step 10
Squeeze the piping bag while it's about 1/2 an inch from the paper, lift as you squeeze then stop squeezing but continue to lift to finish the meringue.
Step 11
Once you have filled a tray (usually about 25 meringues), place it on the center rack to bake at 200° F for about an hour. Then turn the oven off and keep it closed (with the meringues inside)for an additional 1-2 hours.
Step 12
The meringue cookies are done when they're are dried throughout. You'll be able to lift them off the baking sheet and they will feel very light and dry.
