Steps:
- Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 250 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- Beat the egg whites and salt with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form. While beating, gradually add the sugar and then continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in the almond extract.
- Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a star pastry tip and pipe 1-inch meringues onto the prepared baking sheets, about 1-inch apart. Bake until the meringues are no longer glossy and feel light and dry when picked up, about 1 hour. Turn off the oven but leave the meringues inside with the door cracked open until the meringues are completely cooled and dry, about 2 hours more. The meringues can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
MANDELMAKRONEN (ALMOND MERINGUES)
These German almond cookies are dairy free and gluten free and are baked during Advent in preparation for Christmas. They are quick and easy to make with only 4 ingredients and taste delicious. Try one to make sure it is baked all the way through, as it can be hard to tell. In Germany they are baked on backoblaten, little round wafers (there are gluten-free ones), but you can bake them directly on parchment paper as well. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 225°F.
- Beat whites with a pinch of salt in a bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until they hold soft peaks. Add 1/2 cup superfine sugar a little at a time, beating, then continue to beat at high speed until whites hold stiff, glossy peaks, 1 to 3 minutes. Fold in remaining 1/4 cup sugar gently but thoroughly.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Put a small dab of meringue on all 4 corners of each sheet, then turn paper over, pressing on corners to adhere parchment to baking sheets.
- Spoon meringue into pastry bag. You will be making 4 lattice cookies on each sheet, so work in 1 quadrant for each: Pipe 4 (4-inch-long) diagonal lines, about 5/8 inch apart, then pipe 4 (4-inch-long) parallel lines diagonally across original 4 lines, 5/8 inch apart, to form a lattice. Make 3 more lattice meringues on same baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle half of almonds over meringues. Pipe 4 more lattice meringues on second baking sheet in same manner, then sprinkle with remaining almonds.
- Bake meringues in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until crisp and pale golden, about 1 hour total.
- Cool meringues completely on sheets on racks, about 1 hour, then carefully peel from parchment.
SOPLILLOS GRANADINOS (MOORISH ALMOND MERINGUES)
Popular in Granada, the last stronghold of the Moors, who ruled Spain for 800 years until expelled by the Inquisition in the late 15th century. During that time, they influenced Spanish kitchens to a huge extent, not least by introducing almonds to the repertoire of ingredients. Interestingly, Christian nuns took over the confectionery business when the Moors were expelled from Granada. Serve with a bowl of whipped cream, nata montada, for dipping, and a cafe cortado - coffee with just a 'cut' of milk. *NOTE*:While the recipe says "whisk" I prefer using a hand mixer.

Steps:
- Put the egg whites in a bowl with a pinch of salt and whisk just until firm peaks form.
- Add the sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, whisking after each addition.
- Fold in the lemon zest, vanilla and almonds carefully so as not to lose volume.
- Fill the piping bag with the mixture.
- Pipe the meringue into mini (candy size) paper cups, you may set them in mini muffin cups or set straight onto the baking sheets.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 120°C (250°F) Gas 1/2 for 30 minutes.
- Increase the heat to 140°C (275°F) Gas 1 for a further 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let cool on a wire rack and serve in their paper cases with a bowl of whipped cream.
- VARIATION: This mixture can be made into cookies or almendrados. Double the amount of almonds, and grind them to a fine powder in a spice grinder or coffee mill. Drop heaped teaspoons onto greased baking sheets and cook in a preheated oven at 140°C (275°F) Gas 1 for 15 minutes. They will be soft when they come out of the oven, but firm up when cold.
- NOTE: Vanilla paste is found in larger supermarkets, often in the gourmet food department. If you can't find it, use the seeds from 1 vanilla pod.
