Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 275. Line cookie sheets with silicone liners or parchment. Set aside. Place egg whites, cream of tartar and sugar in a metal mixing bowl and place over simmering water (do not let bowl touch water). Heat for 2-3 minutes or until just sugar dissolves and egg whites are slightly warm. Remove the bowl from the heat and beat egg whites with a mixer on high for 4-5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Fold in Rice Krispies with a spatula being careful not to deflate meringue mixture.
Using a tablespoon, spoon batter onto cookie sheets. Bake for 30 minutes or until you can lift a cookie cleanly off the cookie sheet. Turn off oven and leave cookies in for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool. Store in airtight container.
