1 cup of fine white sugar (use what you have and pulse in a food processor for 30 seconds)
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp flavoring (vanilla, orange extract, peppermint, rose water... you choose)
3-6 drops food coloring (optional)
Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (not wax paper) or a silicone baking mat. If you don't have wither, just well grease a pan and be prepared to scrub a bit afterwards.
Put the egg whites and cream of tartar in a mixer and beat at medium speed until soft peaks (holds it shape when you pull the mixer out but the tips droop over). Increase the speed to high and slowly add in the sugar and flavoring (and color if you want) until well incorporated.
Spoon the batter into a pastry bad and use a star tip pipe it onto the prepared cookie sheet. They should be between quarter and half-dollar sized dollops. Bake for 75 minutes then turn the oven off without opening the door and let them sit in the warm oven for another 90 minutes.
