NAN'S MERINGUE KISSES - EASY TO BE CREATIVE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250º degrees.
• Beat egg white & salt with mixer until frothy or fluffy. Add sugar very slowly while still using mixer.
• Beat until a stiff peak forms and sugar is dissolved.
• Fold in by hand vanilla.
• Spoon (teaspoonful) onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
• Bake 40-45 minutes.
• Let cool slightly before removing to cooling rack.
• Store in airtight container.
• You can add (1/4 cup per batch or desired amount) chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, mint chips, etc. Fold these in last.
• You can also substitute the vanilla with any flavor extract. I have used cherry extract with chocolate chips. These were excellent.
• You can also add a couple drops of food coloring to the desired flavor of the kiss. If you use a drop of yellow with a drop of red to get an orange color you can use chocolate chips to have a Halloween kiss.
• I don't suggest using wet ingredients such as maraschino cherries, pineapple, etc.
