Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Place egg whites and cream of tartar into a large bowl, beat using an electric mixer at medium speed until soft peaks form.

  3. Spoon batter into a pastry bag and pipe mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 1 1/2 hours. Turn oven off, let cookies cool in the closed oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove cookies carefully from paper.
