Ingredients

2 egg whites
⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ cup white sugar
½ vanilla bean
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place egg whites and cream of tartar into a large bowl; beat using an electric mixer at medium speed until soft peaks form. Increase speed to high and add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time while mixing until stiff peaks form. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into the bowl and add vanilla extract; beat just until blended.
Spoon batter into a pastry bag and pipe mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 1 1/2 hours. Turn oven off; let cookies cool in the closed oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove cookies carefully from paper.

Cook's Note:

The key to the perfect meringue is to completely mix in sugar before adding another tablespoon.
