Step 4

Drop by spoonfuls or pipe into rosettes with a star tip onto the
prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the meringues are hard, 1 to 1 1/2
hours; turn off the oven, and allow them to cool inside the oven to
finish baking the insides.

Cook's Notes

Don't make meringues on days with high humidity, or they won't dry

right and might collapse.
If using a very liquidy food coloring, reduce the water a little bit -- too

much water in the meringues will cause them to leak while baking
and form sugary pools at the base.

To substitute rosewater for extract, 1 tablespoon. of rosewater is
equal to 1 teaspoon extract. Reduce the water in the recipe if using

rosewater.
