-
Separate eggs into two separate bowls, making sure not to get ANY yolk into the bowls containing the whites.
-
Beat egg whites on high speed until foamy.
-
Add two tablespoons of the 2/3 cup of sugar to the egg whites and continue to beat until stiff peaks form, and set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, Add vanilla and the rest of the sugar to the egg yolks and beat until pale yellow, set aside.
-
Sift together the flour and baking powder together (I didn't want to dirty another bowl so I sifted onto a piece of waxed paper).
-
Gently fold half of the egg whites into the yolks.
-
Fold the flour mixture into the yolks.
-
Fold the rest of the egg whites into the yolks.
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Load batter into a pastry bag with a wide tip, or a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.
-
Pipe onto a greased cookie sheet in any shape you'd like (traditionally, they are shaped like fingers, about as wide as your pointer and middle finger put together).
-
Bake for 6 minutes, or until edges are just golden brown.
