Ingredients

• 2 Egg whites
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a clean, dry bowl, use a mixer on medium speed to beat the egg whites until frothy.

Step 3

Gradually add the salt and sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while increasing the mixer speed to high. Continue beating until the mixture forms stiff, glossy peaks.

Step 4

Gently fold in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the meringue.

Step 5

Using a teaspoon, drop mounds of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 6

Bake for 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cookies are firm to the touch and can be easily lifted off the parchment paper.

Step 7

Turn off the oven and let the cookies cool completely inside with the oven door slightly ajar.

Step 8

Once cooled, store the Pecan Kisses in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
