INGREDIENTS

– 4 egg whites at room temperature – 1 cup white granulated sugar – 1/4 tsp cream of tartar – 1/2 tsp vanilla extract – holiday sprinkles to decorate

Step 1

Preheat oven to 225 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Beat egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer until frothy. Add cream of tartar. Beat until soft peaks form. Increase speed to medium-high.

Step 3

Slowly add sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, until it is dissolved and stiff peaks form. Beat in vanilla extract.

Step 4

Fill a piping bag with meringue, use a star tip. Pipe trees, starting from the middle, pipe a circle and then 2 more, finishing in the middle on top. Sprinkle with Christmas sprinkes.

Step 5

Bake cookies for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Check them often. Mine did get a little brown, which I should have prevented, but I was trying to multitask.

Step 6

Turn the oven off, open its door and let them cool inside. Store meringue cookies in an airtight container away from any heat or moisture
