How to make meringue puffs:

Heat oven to 200°. Line 2 cookie sheets with paper from paper grocery bags. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a medium size bowl at high speed until peaks form. Add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating 1 to 2 minutes after each addition until mixture stands in stiff, glossy peaks. Beat in vanilla. Spoon half of meringue mixture into decorating bag or plastic tube fitted with a large star shape. Pipe into 1 1/4-inch star shapes on cookie sheets. Repeat with remaining meringue. Bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove from paper while meringues are still warm.
