2 egg whites, room temperature
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 c. sugar
1 pkg. chocolate kisses

Cover 2 cookie sheets with brown paper (cut up shopping bag). Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In large bowl, beat together egg whites, cream of tartar, salt, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Slowly add sugar, a little at a time (1 tablespoon), beating well each time so egg whites will remain stiff. Drop by tablespoonful onto brown paper. Put chocolate kiss, pressed down, in center of each mound. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until meringues are a touch of brown. Cool completely. Store in air-tight containers. Don't make on rainy days!
