Nan'S Meringue Kisses - Easy To Be Creative - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 egg white
1 pinch salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Preheat oven to 250\u00b0 degrees.
Beat egg white & salt with mixer until frothy or fluffy. Add sugar very slowly while still using mixer.
Beat until a stiff peak forms and sugar is dissolved.
Fold in by hand vanilla.
Spoon (teaspoonful) onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake 40-45 minutes.
Let cool slightly before removing to cooling rack.
Store in airtight container.
You can add (1/4 cup per batch or desired amount) chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, mint chips, etc. Fold these in last.
You can also substitute the vanilla with any flavor extract. I have used cherry extract with chocolate chips. These were excellent.
You can also add a couple drops of food coloring to the desired flavor of the kiss. If you use a drop of yellow with a drop of red to get an orange color you can use chocolate chips to have a Halloween kiss.
I don't suggest using wet ingredients such as maraschino cherries, pineapple, etc.
