Ingredients

♡ Add to favourites

• 4 large egg whites (68 calories)
• 1 cup granulated sugar (774 calories)
• 1/4 tsp cream of tartar (0 calories)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (3 calories)
• 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips (for decoration) (70 calories)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a clean, dry bowl, whisk egg whites and cream of tartar using a mixer at medium speed until soft peaks form.
3. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating at high speed until stiff peaks form and the sugar is dissolved.
4. Mix in vanilla extract gently.
5. Transfer the meringue mixture to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe ghost-like shapes onto the parchment paper.
6. Decorate with mini chocolate chips to form eyes and mouths.
7. Bake for 2 hours. Turn off the oven and leave the cookies inside with the oven door closed for 1 hour. This gradual cooling helps prevent cracking and keeps the meringues crisp.
8. Store in an airtight container to maintain their crisp texture.
