For best results, ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are impeccably clean and free of any grease or oil. Room temperature egg whites will whip up to a greater volume than cold egg whites. Do not open the oven door during the resting time! This can cause the cookies to crack or collapse. If you prefer a less sweet cookie, you can reduce the amount of sugar by a tablespoon or two. Feel free to experiment with different add-ins, such as dried cranberries, chopped pecans, or toffee bits.
