This is for the single recipe

2 Egg whites
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
2/3 cups white sugar
chocolate for drizzling (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 300F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper
2. combine egg whites, vanilla, nutmeg, cream of tartar. Beat until soft peaks form (tip curl completely over)
Gradually add sugar, 1 tbsp at a time beating on high until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight)
3. Place meringue in a pastry bag with a star tip and pipe onto the cookie sheet in 1 1/2 inch cookies, one inch apart. You can also use a plastic bag with the corner cut or a spoon.
I was out of pastry bags in this video and I used a plastic bag with a decorator tip on it.

4. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn off the oven. Let meringues dry in oven with the door closed for about an hour or until dry and crisp.
Drizzle with chocolate if desired.

@MrSasyB I think its because its small in size. The baking time do depend on the size of the meringue.

Just made these! I didn't have cream of tartar so I used a bit of lemon juice. So super delicious! :)
