How to Make Meringue Kisses

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Separate two large eggs, ensuring no yolk contaminates the egg whites. (Place the yolks in a separate bowl to avoid accidental mixing.)
  3. In a large, clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
  4. Add the cream of tartar and salt. Continue beating until soft peaks form.
  5. Gradually add the sugar, one teaspoon at a time, while beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form. This will take several minutes.
  6. Add the vanilla extract and beat for another 15 seconds to combine.
  7. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag (or use a spoon) to create 2-inch mounds on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meringue kisses are lightly browned and crisp around the edges.
  9. Let the meringue kisses cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before gently transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
