Instructions
Set oven to 200F. Separate the egg whites one at a time into a small bowl then transfer each white to the bowl of your stand mixer. You really don’t want to get any broken yolks in your bowl so separating them individually contains the damage if anything happens.
Add the cream or tartar and salt to the bowl then begin mixing on low and gradually increase the speed to high.
Once the egg whites have frothed up you can begin SLOWLY sprinkling in the sugar. This step makes a big difference in your final meringues so remember to take your time and add the sugar in gradually. You can do is a teaspoon at a time or just sprinkle it in slow as slow can be. After the sugar has been added it’s time to beat in some vanilla.

Separate each egg white into a small bowl before adding it to the mixer, this way if a yolk breaks you won't have to repurpose the whole batch into an omelette.
Drizzle the sugar in VERY slowly while the mixer runs. You can add in a teaspoon at a time or just go for a slow cascade of sugar. It makes a huge difference in the quality of your meringue.
Pipe your meringue as soon as it's done. Meringue will lose consistency if it sits around for a while.
Center rack is best for baking.
Just leave them in the oven for at least an hour and don't keep opening the oven, they need a nice warm dry place to hang out after baking.
These meringues can be made in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer instead of a stand mixer, just be prepared for it to take a while.

I made these, per the recipe but dipped the bottom in melting chocolate. They were a hit at my mother's Christmas party and many asked for the recipe!
I made these and they came out absolutely amazing.The only thing is they literally took almost two hours in the oven before they became crispy and not like marshmallows
Love these cookies. Make them every holiday season. Recently lost all my recipes in a move so I was looking for a great one. This one is great. Had to cook them an extra hour and didn’t use cream of tarter. But still perfect.
Thank you John!! Another fabulous recipe from Preppy Kitchen!! Your recipes are my go to recipes especially when I am in a hurry!! Your tips and “tricks” are what elevate the recipe from good to great!
I had to make two batches for an event as my family ate the first one! Delish!
The first successful meringues I have ever made. This is fantastic. I will now always make it this way. I love meringue so much. Thank you so much 🤗
I've made this meringue recipie multiple times and it's always great. I usually do a double batch because I make these at the same time as I make ice cream so I dont waste the egg whites.
