Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, using a hand beater, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, salt and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and beat until the sugar dissolves and stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently fold in the chopped nuts.
- Drop the batter onto silicone mats or parchment lined baking sheets (will need 2) with a teaspoon, spacing at least 2 inches apart. Bake until the meringues are dried through, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The cookies will remove easily from the parchment or silicone mat when ready.
- Cook's Note: Do not bake on humid days. Dye these any color to suit a seasonal event. For orange cookies, add 5 drops of food coloring.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Whip the egg white with a whip attachment until stiff.
- Add the sugar, cinnamon, and salt and continue whipping until stiff and glossy. Fold in the walnuts.
- Drop by spoonfuls onto a parchment lined sheet pan and bake 35 to 40 minutes. Cool and remove from the pan. Store in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Use fresh egg whites: Older egg whites may not whip up as well and can result in a less than perfect meringue.
- Whip the egg whites gradually: Start on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the egg whites begin to foam. This will help prevent the egg whites from becoming overbeaten.
- Whip until stiff peaks form: The egg whites are ready when they hold stiff peaks when the whisk is lifted out of the bowl.
- Add the sugar gradually: Adding the sugar all at once can cause the meringue to deflate. Add it in small increments, beating well after each addition.
- Bake the cookies at a low temperature: This will help prevent the cookies from browning too much.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will help them to set and become crisp.

These nutty meringue cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
