How to Make Brown Sugar Pecan Meringues

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar. Set aside.
In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the sugar mixture to the egg whites, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition.
Once all the sugar is incorporated, increase the mixer speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped pecans and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Drop rounded spoonfuls of meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Smooth the tops of the meringues with the back of a spoon to create rounds about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the meringues are dry and lightly golden brown.
Let the meringues cool completely on the baking sheets before serving or storing. Makes approximately 24 large cookies.
