Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl allow egg whites to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, grease a cookie sheet; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Add vanilla, cream of tartar, and food coloring to the egg whites. Beat whites at medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating about 5 minutes on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Spoon meringue into pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch round tip. Pipe small 1-inch-high mounds that end in an angled tip about 1 inch apart on prepared sheet.
- Bake about 15 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool.
- When cookies are cool, dip bottoms into melted chocolate, then into chopped nuts.
- Set on waxed paper until chocolate is firm.
- If desired, add a dot of colored icing to each tip.
