Creating Ghost Meringues can be a fun and rewarding process. Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Mixing Bowl: Ensure your mixing bowl is clean and dry. Any grease can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
3. Beat Egg Whites: In a large bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Begin beating using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes frothy.
4. Add Cream of Tartar: Add the cream of tartar at this point to stabilize the egg whites.
5. Increase Speed: Gradually increase the speed to medium-high and beat until soft peaks form.
6. Add Sugar Gradually: Once soft peaks appear, slowly add the granulated sugar, about one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat. This step should take about 10 minutes. Continue until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form.
7. Add Vanilla Extract: Mix in the vanilla extract until just combined.
8. Pipe the Ghost Shapes: Using a piping bag fitted with a round tip, pipe meringue in the shape of small ghosts onto the prepared sheets. Create little peaks at the top for the ghostly effect.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. The meringues should be dry and crisp but not browned. Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely.
10. Add Eyes: Once completely cool, use melted chocolate or mini chocolate chips to create eyes on the ghosts.
