  • ⅛ tsp. cream of tartar
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup superfine sugar (baker’s sugar found at you market in a carton)
  • pink food dye
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
  2. Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites with cream of tartar, salt and vanilla.
  3. When the whites begin to hold stiff peaks, gradually add half the sugar.
  4. When the peaks become glossy, gently fold in the remaining sugar.
  5. Divide the meringue in half add a few drops of food dye to the one half of the mixture and mix until meringue turns pink.
  6. Put the meringue mix in a pastry bag (or a Ziploc bag with a corner cut out) fitted with a star tip.
  7. Repeat with second color.
  8. On a baking sheet with lined with parchment paper, pipe small kisses of meringue mixture.
  9. You can pipe the cookies close together since the mixture does not spread.
  10. Bake the meringues until hard, about 2 hours. They should easily release form the parchment.
  11. Turn the oven off, prop the door open and allow the meringues to sit in the oven for another hour or so.
