Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Place the egg whites and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or use a hand mixer); beat on medium speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and increase the speed to medium high; beat in the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, then add the extract or zest. Continue beating until the meringue is thick, glossy and holds stiff peaks, about 6 minutes.
- For colored cookies, swirl a few drops of food coloring into the meringue or use a small paintbrush to paint 3 long stripes of food coloring up the inside of a pastry bag. For chocolate chip versions, gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the mixture.
- Drop or pipe the meringue as desired, about 2 inches apart, on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired. Bake 1 hour, then turn off the oven and let the meringues stand in the oven until dry, about 2 hours. Top with or dip in melted chocolate and sprinkle with nonpareils.

MERINGUES 1944
There are lots of "meringues" (cookie) recipes out there but this one uses baking powder to help raise the merinques to perfect peaks. Other recipes use cream of tartar for this but Mom's recipe uses baking powder (found in every cook's kitchen). I about died laughing when I read at Wikipedia that the word meringue in one area of France means "farts" -- ha ha -- because they are so light and airy! You can also flavor with any non-oil based flavoring -- oil would ruin the peaks -- such as vanilla, almond, lemon, peppermint, etc. Just make sure it is an "extract" and not an oil. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven 250 F, and line cookie sheet with parchment paper
- Set aside 1/3 of the sugar and thoroughly mix it with the baking powder
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form (easiest with a stand mixer but hand mixer will do)
- Gradually, 1 Tbsp at a time, sprinkle the sugar in as you continue beating
- Continue beating and now sprinkle the sugar / baking powder mixture -- again done gradually, one Tbsp at a time
- Lastly add the vanilla gently as you continue beating
- When you put a small amount of the whipped eggs between your fingers and it no longer feels gritty from the sugar, you are done whipping.
- Using two spoons, place your mounds on the parchment paper about 1 1/2 inches apart. You can also pipe them if you have the tools.
- Bake on parchment paper in 250 F oven for 30 minutes or just until slightly browned (not much -- you don't really want them to be brown very much, they should be mostly white) Mom's recipe also says you can do this in a 300 degree oven for the same amount of time, too... but I don't know what that will do to them.
- Serve, as is, or with a little fresh fruit.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 110C/ 100C fan/gas ¼.
- Line 2 baking sheets with non-stick liner or parchment paper (meringue can stick on greaseproof paper and foil).
- Tip 4 large egg whites into a large clean mixing bowl (not plastic). Beat them on medium speed with an electric hand whisk until the mixture resembles a fluffy cloud and stands up in stiff peaks when the blades are lifted.
- Now turn the speed up and start to add 115g caster sugar, a dessertspoonful at a time. Continue beating for 3-4 seconds between each addition. It's important to add the sugar slowly at this stage as it helps prevent the meringue from weeping later. However, don't over-beat. When ready, the mixture should be thick and glossy.
- Sift one third of the 115g icing sugar over the mixture, then gently fold it in with a big metal spoon or rubber spatula. Continue to sift and fold in the remaining icing sugar a third at a time. Again, don't over-mix. The mixture should now look smooth and billowy.
- Scoop up a heaped dessertspoonful of the mixture. Using another dessertspoon, ease it on to the baking sheet to make an oval shape. Or just drop them in rough rounds, if you prefer.
- Bake for 1 ½-1 ¾ hours in a fan oven, 1 ¼ hours in a conventional or gas oven, until the meringues sound crisp when tapped underneath and are a pale coffee colour.
- Leave to cool on the trays or a cooling rack. (The meringues will now keep in an airtight tin for up to 2 weeks, or frozen for a month.) Serve two meringues sandwiched together with a generous dollop of softly whipped double cream.
