Eggs separate more easily when they are warm. Place egg whites in bowl and bring to room temperature. To speed up this process, place bowl of egg whites into a slightly larger bowl containing lukewarm water. Make sure beater and mixing bowl are spotlessly clean. Any grease in the mixture will deflate meringue. Do not make meringues during humid weather. Moisture will prevent egg whites from forming stiff peaks. For best results, bake meringues on baking sheets lined with nonstick foil. Or bake on foil-lined baking sheets sprayed with no stick cooking spray. To make different shapes of meringue, spoon meringue mixture into large resealable plastic bag. Snip off a corner of the bag and gently squeeze to pipe meringue onto baking sheets. Pipe into various shapes, such as hearts, "kisses," letters, numbers, etc. Try also with 1/2 teaspoon each McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract and McCormick® Pure Mint Extract.
