Ingredients
- 3 eggs whites
- 6 tablespoons superfine , castor

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

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.
