Oh and you don't even have to use the cream of tartar is you don't want...but use a pinch of salt.
I also put my batter in my pastry tube with large star pastry tip that I use for cakes. Messy but they look prettier. |

Is the cream of tartar responsible for his cookies looking like they were made in a bakery in downtown Chernobyl?

I just thought of something else—I use my clear vanilla extract from Wilton as my natural is dark brown. The clear keeps them white. I'd have to go back and recheck your link to see if he called for that. Once they're done, you have to turn oven off and let them sit in there to cool down completely per directions I had last. I only went a third of the way letting them cool inside the turned-off oven because I needed my oven to make two other items. On top of it being very humid here. I mean last night it was foggy. So I hope the ones I boxed with a ribbon didn't to soft on me. She left them inside so I don't think so. Afterall, they were a gift for her. Here's the one I used last with a video. http://www.joyofbaking.com/MeringueCookies.html Calls for 200°. So I went under that to 185° to adjust for my oven. They took longer though. By about 15 minutes. I looked at these too, but I noticed they were browned a little. I don't mind that if I am looking for that but I wanted my all white. http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/v...ringue-cookies Calls for a 250° oven I noticed so I didn't go there seeing the golden brown edges. You should look up meringue online...you can make other shapes out of them—like ghosts for Halloween treats. And they're not high in calories as they are egg white.

![]() Looks wonderful. Three questions, if you'd be willing to help: 1) You cooked it on the parchment paper, on the stone? 2) I got a block of mozzarella last time, and it was very "wet" when I grated it. It also didn't melt very well, and I think I used too much. What is the above brand? 3) I'm going to proof my dough next time in the microwave or oven. The microwave version is to boil a cup of water in the nuker and then put the dough (in a lightly oiled bowl, covered with plastic or a towel) next to the cup for an hour. Heat is retained somewhat and so is the moisture. Just for reference, the humidity in my house is presently 20% |

So in the interest of full disclosure, my Publix sells dough that has been formed into maybe a 10-inch round. Let it rest, and it's pretty easy to stretch out. And I use a baking steel instead of a stone, which disperses heat better and faster and acts closer to a pizza oven. |

1. Yes, parchment directly on the stone. Less cleanup. EDIT: It's also super convenient for putting on the stone and taking off. 2. Brand isn't as important as the type of mozzarella. It sounds like you used fresh, which tastes awesome but is very wet and melts for shit. You want specifically "low-moisture" mozzarella. I typically use Kraft, this was Mt. Sterling Co-op Creamery out of Wisconsin. 3. Sounds like a plan. With the ambient heat in your house, I think using some kind of proof box will help you a lot. |

DEFINITELY the stone. Just preheat the shit out of it. I have to preheat my steel for a full hour. |

Oh, I also recommend brushing the outer crust with olive oil prior to baking. It'll help crisp the crust.
