Ghost Meringue Cookies

Give this simple recipe a try and make the cookies into any shape you like!

• 4 egg whites (room temperature)
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Candy eyes
• Toothpick

Add room temperature egg whites to mixer and turn on. Next add cream of tartar and salt. Then add the sugar 1 tbsp at a time to ensure the sugar fully dissolves. Whip until you get stiff peaks.

Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe the ghosts onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Smooth out the cookies with a toothpick and add the tails.

Bake at 225 F for 1 hour then turn off the oven and allow it to cool completely before you pull the cookies out. This will allow them to cook fully.

Make a simple royal icing to use as glue for the candy eyes.

Boo!
