Ingredients

  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 cup sugar (less 1 Tbsp.)
  • 1/2 tsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  1. Beat the egg whites and vinegar together with an electric egg beater in a large bowl.
  2. Ensure beating around the sides of the bowl is done; whites must be stiff and stand in peaks.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat for at least 15 seconds.
  4. Gradually add more sugar, beating well after each addition.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat in.
  6. Optionally, add a drop of red food coloring for pink kisses or 1 tablespoon of fine coconut.
  7. Spray 2 cookie sheets with Pam.
  8. Form peaked kisses pushed from a narrow teaspoon about an inch apart on the sheets.
  9. Put kisses in a preheated oven at 200°F on middle and top shelves and bake for 20 minutes.
  10. Then change the oven temperature to warm and turn on the oven light if you have one.
  11. Leave kisses in the oven all night.
  12. In the morning, turn off the oven and light.
  13. Kisses should be crisp, not sticky inside; if sticky, leave them in the oven a little longer to dry.
