Beat the ingredients until stiff peaks form.

spoon onto a foil covered cookie sheet (or pipe to make them look pretty).

Bake at 200° for 2 hours.

leave in oven for at least 2 additional hours (until completely cool) I often leave them overnight.

Carefully peel off foil and store in an airtight container.

Variations: fold in 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts or bittersweet chocolate. (note- these will not hold their shape as well, they do taste yummy, but tend to lose some of the airiness).

additional option: dip the nut version in melted chocolate once cooked.
