Prep: 30 min. Bake: 1-1/2 hours + cooling

Yield: 12 Servings

30 90 120

Ingredients

2 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar

Directions

In a small bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form. Place mixture in a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag.
On parchment-lined baking sheets, pipe meringue into a 3-in. log. Pipe two 1-in. balls on opposite sides of each end of the log. Repeat with remaining meringue. Bake at 225° for 1-1/2 hours or until firm. Remove to wire racks. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 1 dozen.

at what point do you add the flavoring? After the sugar?

Very easy, but do NOT get even a speck of yolk in the bowl or it will not thicken. I had to start over. Second time was great. Good flavor and easy to shape into bones.

These were very easy to make, and it was my first time making a meringue. They were easy to pipe and came right off the parchment paper after they cooled. I liked the melt-in-your-mouth texture, but thought the flavor was a little plain. Next time I will add some peppermint flavor for Christmas. The possibilities are endless!

Oops, "smooting" should be "smoothing."

These were fun to make and share. Like another person said, my "batter" was like marshmallow creme, but baked up fine. I did have issues with Dairy Queen type curls where I stopped squeezing the bag, but they clipped off easily when baked. Next time I'll work more at smooting the surface before baking, since the "batter" holds its shape well. I can envision many possibilities for this recipe!

These were delish but I found when I tried to remove the bones from the parchment paper, the majority of them broke. Very tasty though!!
