Directions: |
Directions:Whip the egg whites slowly adding the sugar and vanilla. You should whip the whites until they will make a peak when you raise the spoon up out of the mixture. If you are making cookies, then you will only put a small spoon full. If you are making shells then you want them larger and make a bowl in the middle. A brown paper bag cut open or cooking papers cut to fit the cookie sheet. You place the meringue on it and cook slowly over an hour at 175-200 degrees. Some times you add up with with chewy cookies, sometimes crisp. The shells can have ice cream put in them topped with fruit or drizzle chocolate over the top. |
