Notes

Ensure your mixing bowl is completely free of any grease or fat, as it can prevent the egg whites from whipping correctly.
Avoid making meringues on a humid day, as the excess moisture in the air can make them soft and sticky.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
