- Preheat the oven to 250°F / 120°C, and line a baking sheet with parchment.

- Add egg whites and salt to the work bowl and secure the lid. Process for 15 seconds to form a froth. Add cream of tartar, and process again for 15 seconds. Add half the powdered sugar and process another 15 seconds. Add remaining powdered sugar and vanilla, and continue processing for 5 full minutes or until stiff peaks form. Meringue will cling to a spoon when held upside down.

- Chefs note – for colored cookies, add a drop of food coloring to mixture once it’s formed the peaks. Cookies can be dipped in chocolate or icing and decorated with sanding sugar or sprinkles.
