    List of Ingredients




    4 egg whites
    1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
    2/3 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 tsp. vanilla or lemon extract
    2/3 cup powdered sugar
    1/2 cup raisins or currants

    Recipe



    Line two lightly greased baking sheets with parchment or brown papers; set aside.

    In a small mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and beat until mixture forms small peaks. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating constantly at high speed until stiff but still glossy. Beat in vanilla or lemon extract. Sift powdered sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, over top and fold in by hand.

    In pastry bag fitted with decorator tip, spoon in meringue and fold over end to enclose. Squeeze slowly onto paper-lined baking sheets to make short, thick shapes (to avoid breakage) of ghosts, bats and other scary creatures. Decorate with raisins or currants for eyes and teeth.

    Bake at 200F for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until dry. Remove from pan with metal spatula and place on flat surface to cool. Store in an airtight container.

    Makes 25 3-inch shapes.
