- Continue to beat, and add sugar one tsp at a time.
- Beat untill it forms stiff peaks.
- Put meringue into a thin square bag, and cut a SMALL hole in a bottom corner of the bag, so the meringue will come out in a string about the size of a thick pencil.
- On a cookie sheet lined with pachment paper squeeze from outside in, making a spiral, then make a peak in the middle. The meringue should be about 1 inch in diameter. You will probably need a second cookie sheet.

Steps:
- set oven to 300 degrees and line one or two cookie sheets with pastry or wax paper.
- first you want to blend together the egg whites, salt, and vanilla very well together over a double boiler (i don't have one but i've found that if you use a medium pot with 1'' of water and a medium mixing bowl, it helps out very much).
- put it all in a stand- up mixer (like our kitchen-aide) and blend at high.
- while blending slowly add sugar until stiff peaks occur.
- after peaks are made, put in a pastry/icing bag (using corner of a freezer bag or a tight funnel made of wax paper works as well) and pipe onto lined cookie sheet
- bake for 12-15 minutes or until tops are a slight golden shade.
- serve while warm or put in air tight container (keeps for about a week if they last that long).

- Use fresh egg whites. Older egg whites won't whip up as well and will result in flat, dense cookies.
- Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of grease. Any residue will prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
- Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing it as they start to foam. This will help to prevent them from becoming overbeaten and grainy.
- Add the sugar slowly, one tablespoon at a time. This will help to prevent the meringue from becoming too sweet or grainy.
- Continue beating the meringue until it is thick and glossy and holds stiff peaks. This will take about 5-7 minutes on medium speed.
- Pipe the meringue into desired shapes onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 200°F for 1-2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to an airtight container.
