Meringue Cookies instructions

Pre heat oven 200°f.

Once they are fomy add the tarter. Keep beating until they have soft peaks..
Now the sugar can be added. Add it slowly..
After all the sugar is added bump up the mixer to high speed.
Whip until it becomes super fluffy (it will look kind of like whipped cream).
(Now you could either use a spoon but I used a bag) fill the bag squish it all into a corner of the bag and cut off the tip..
Put decent sized dollops on the pan(I used a pan but it would be better to use wax paper. They wont slide as much.).
Place them in the oven and increase heat to about 250°-300°.
Once one side is browned flip.
Wait until slightly browned, poke them they should be stiff.
Read to serve when cooled.
