4. Pipe the Meringues:
Spoon or pipe the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. You can use a piping bag with a star tip for a decorative effect, or simply drop spoonfuls onto the sheet. Space the cookies about 1-2 inches apart as they will not spread much during baking.
5. Bake the Meringues:
Bake the meringue cookies in the preheated oven for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until they are dry to the touch and can easily be lifted off the parchment paper.
Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside with the door slightly ajar for an additional hour or two to cool completely and crisp up.
6. Cool and Serve:
Once the meringues are completely cooled and crisp, remove them from the parchment paper. Serve them immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
