Steps:
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil and grease the foil.
- Beat egg whites with cream of tartar and salt in a bowl with an electric mixer until egg whites are foamy. Gradually beat in sugar, a few tablespoons at a time, beating until the sugar dissolves in the meringue before adding more. Continue beating until the meringue is glossy and forms a sharp peak when beaters are lifted straight up out of the bowl; beat in vanilla extract. Spoon the meringue into a pastry bag fitted with a small tip.
- Pipe meringue into small bone shapes on the prepared aluminum foil. You must pipe all the shapes at once or the meringue will deflate.
- Place cookie sheets into the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. No not open oven door or peek during baking. Turn the oven off and let the meringue bones cool in the oven without opening door for 1 hour. Gently and carefully remove cookies from aluminum to prevent broken bones.

Tips:
- Use a clean bowl and whisk when whipping the egg whites. Any grease or residue can prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
- Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as the egg whites begin to foam.
- Add the sugar slowly, a little at a time, while continuing to whip the egg whites. This will help prevent the sugar from crystallizing and will result in a smooth, glossy meringue.
- Continue whipping the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks. This means that when you lift the whisk out of the bowl, the meringue will hold its shape and won't fall back into the bowl.
- Pipe the meringue onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in whatever shape you desire. For meringue bones, you can use a star tip to create a bone shape.
- Bake the meringue in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) for 1-2 hours, or until the meringue is dry and crisp.
- Let the meringue cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.
Conclusion:
These meringue bones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for Halloween or any other occasion. They are crispy, chewy, and have a sweet and slightly tangy flavor. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these spooky and delicious treats that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
