Ingredients
- 3 eggs whites
- 6 tablespoons superfine , castor

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Spoon meringue into a piping bag fitted with a 3/8-inch tip. Pipe 1-inch disks of meringue onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.

Let cookies stand at room temperature to form a thin skin, about 15 minutes.

7
Lift the baking sheets; let drop from several inches above the work surface to adhere cookies to the baking sheets.

Bake in the preheated oven until tops are dry, about 15 minutes; let cool completely on the baking sheets before peeling off the parchment paper, about 45 minutes.
