1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Substitutions: almond, peppermint, or citrus extracts

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to a low temperature of 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a clean, dry bowl, add egg whites and beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form and mixture looks glossy.
Gently fold in vanilla extract and food coloring.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe into tree shapes on the parchment.
Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours until dry to the touch, ensuring they do not brown.
Turn off the oven and leave the door slightly ajar to cool for at least an hour.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature if not serving immediately.
