Ingredients:  
4 egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sugar
1/3 c. dried cherries or Craisins, coarsely chopped
1/3 c. chopped pecans
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, salt and vanilla until soft peaks form.

Still beating, very gradually ( 1 tablespoon at a time) add sugar to egg whites. Continue to beat until sugar has dissolved and stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently fold in cherries and pecans. Drop meringue mixture by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart. Bake, switching baking sheets halfway through, until meringues are dry, about 2 hours. Cool completely on baking sheets. Meringues can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Personal Notes:
Note: to make cookies uniform in size, scoop rounded measuring tablespoons of meringue mixture onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Use your fingers to get all of the meringue out of the spoon (it is quite sticky). Don’t bake on a humid day, or your meringues may not dry.
