Follow these easy steps to create your spooky yet delightful Ghost Meringues:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, add the egg whites. Ensure there is no yolk; for best results, use room temperature eggs.
3. Beat Egg Whites: Using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites on medium speed until they become frothy.
4. Add Cream of Tartar: Once frothy, sprinkle in the cream of tartar and salt. Increase the mixer speed to high and continue beating until soft peaks form.
5. Gradually Add Sugar: Slowly add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Continue to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
6. Incorporate Vanilla: Gently fold in the vanilla extract using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the meringue.
7. Pipe Ghosts: Transfer the meringue to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe dollops onto the prepared baking sheet, creating fun ghost shapes.
8. Bake: Place the meringues in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until they are dry and lift easily off the parchment paper.
9. Cool: Once done, turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the meringues cool inside for about 15-20 minutes to prevent cracking.
10. Decorate: Once cooled, use dark chocolate chips to create eyes for your meringue ghosts.

By following these steps, you will create an amazing batch of Ghost Meringues that are irresistible!
