Cotton Candy Cookies

These are my youngest son's very favorite! While fooling around in the kitchen one weekend, I came up with these cookies. Ben said they tasted just like cotton candy, so the name was born! You can easily vary these by changing the flavoring extract. I've included Ben's favorite, raspberry, but these are easily made with coconut extract & taste just like coconut macaroons!

25 min - 5 min prep - 2-3 dozen

INGREDIENTS:
2 egg whites
1 dash salt
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon raspberry extract
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract (Mexican vanilla is the best-especially Danncy brand!)
3/4 cup granulated sugar

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Beat egg whites, cream of tarter, & extract until soft peaks form.
Add sugar gradually, beating to stiff peaks.
Cover cookie sheets with plain brown paper (from a brown paper bag) or parchment paper.
Drop cookie mixture from teaspoon onto paper.
Bake in slow oven (325 degrees) for 20 to 25 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly on paper (will stick to paper if tried to remove while still hot).
Cool on wire rack until completely cool.
