Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the egg whites, cream of tartar, and a dash of salt. Beat until peaks form, then gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat till the mixture is stiff and glossy. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pipe meringues onto the sheet, using a pastry bag and star tip; or drop meringues by large teaspoonfuls onto the sheet. Bake in a preheated 200°F oven for 1 1/2 hours. Turn the oven off, remove the meringues, and dust with the white glitter; they'll still be slightly tacky, so the glitter should adhere. Return to the turned-off oven, and leave them there till they're completely cool, 3 hours or more. Alternate method: Dissolve 3/4 cup granulated sugar in 1/2 cup boiling water; cool. Add 1/4 cup (1 1/4 ounces) meringue powder, and beat till peaks form. Shape and bake as directed above. This is a good cookie to make in the evening; they can be left in the oven (with the heat turned off) overnight. Yield: approximately three dozen meringues
