Meringue Cookies

From Andie Evans
Makes 36-40

2 egg whites
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. sugar
optional ingredients

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Beat eggs on high speed until peaks form. Slowly add cream of tartar, salt, vanilla and sugar. Mix until the whites hold stiff peaks.

Fold in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of any combination of the yummy ingredients: small chocolate bits, finely chopped hazelnuts, peppermint candy or anything else that sounds good.

Drop by small spoonfuls onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 300 degrees about 20-25 minutes. Do not let the cookies take on color.
