These are also know as "Meringue cookies". These slow baked goodies are often served with desserts to introduce texture. It's a perfect egg lover cookie.

Steps

120 mins

1

Preheat oven to 120°C. Line baking trays with parchment paper
2

Use an electric mixer to whisk egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Add the cream of tartar (it helps stabilize the egg whites)
3

Gradually add sugar, a tablespoon at a time, whisking well between each addition, until sugar dissolves.
4

Once all the sugar has been added, continue to whisk on high until stiff glossy peaks form. Whisk in the vanilla essence.
5

Spoon the meringue into a piping bag with a tip of your choice. Pipe small sized meringue cookies onto lined trays.
6

Reduce the oven temperature to 100°C.
7

Bake meringues for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 mins (Until the cookies turn pale brown). Turn oven off and leave meringues in the oven to cool completely (Caution:Do not open the oven door until the cookies cool completely. Else you will end up with chewy, soggy cookies).

Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
