The Meringues should be firm to the touch, and easily remove from the parchment paper once cooled. Store the Meringues in an airtight container at room temperature. They must be in an airtight container, or they will become sticky. If they appear to be sticky, place them in an airtight container, and leave them for a couple of hours, and they should be fine. I stored mine on parchment paper in an airtight container. They will keep for 7 to 10 days, but I recommend using them, or eating them within 3 to 5 days for best flavor.
You can make these any color you want, or any shape you want. If you want to use a different tip besides the Star tip, you can try different shapes and colors for a real variety of ways to make Meringues.
Makes 3 - 4 dozen Meringues (depending on how big they're piped or spooned onto the parchment paper)
