Pistachio-Mint Meringue Cookies

Directions

• Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 225°. Add vanilla, cream of tartar and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold in baking chips, pistachios and crushed candies.
• Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 1 in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. If desired, sprinkle with additional pistachios. Bake 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until firm to the touch. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store in airtight containers.
