These light and airy cookies are made with just a few simple ingredients and are easy to make. With their ghostly appearance and delicious taste, they are sure to be a hit at any Halloween party.

To make Ghostly Meringue Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- Black food coloring

This recipe makes about 24 cookies.
To start, preheat your oven to 200°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they are frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
Add a few drops of black food coloring to the mixture and gently fold it in until the color is evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the meringue to deflate.
Using a piping bag fitted with a large round tip, pipe the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet in ghostly shapes. You can make them as big or as small as you like, but keep in mind that they will expand slightly as they bake.
Bake the cookies for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until they are dry and crisp on the outside. Turn off the oven and leave the cookies inside to cool completely.
Once the cookies are cool, you can decorate them with black icing to give them spooky faces. Serve them on a platter and watch as your guests marvel at their ghostly appearance and delicious taste.
Ghostly Meringue Cookies are a perfect Halloween treat that are light, airy, and delicious. They are a great way to add some spooky fun to your Halloween party, and are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike.
