Ingredients
  

3 large egg whites, at room temperature

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon Jello powder (any flavor you like)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt, and continue beating until soft peaks form.

      Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while increasing the mixer speed to high. Continue beating until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form.

        Gently fold in the Jello powder and vanilla extract with a spatula until fully combined, taking care not to deflate the meringue.

          Using a piping bag with a round tip or a spoon, dollop meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. You can create swirls or peaks for a decorative effect.

            Bake the meringue cookies in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours or until they are dry to the touch. They should easily lift off the parchment paper and sound hollow when tapped.

              Turn off the oven and leave the cookies inside to cool completely for at least another hour, allowing them to dry out further and achieve the perfect crunch.

                Once cooled, gently peel the cookies off the parchment and enjoy!

                    - Presentation Tips: Arrange the meringue cookies on a decorative plate, and consider garnishing with mini fruit slices or edible flowers to enhance visual appeal.
