- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
- Gently fold in the vanilla extract and salt using a spatula.
- Using a piping bag or spoon, dollop the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 1 hour or until dry and lift easily from parchment.
- Allow them to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar.
Notes
Meringue cookies are best served fresh or stored in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
