Method

12 steps

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly butter or spray with nonstick spray.
Separate 4 large egg whites into a clean, grease-free bowl and bring to room temperature.
Beat egg whites on medium speed until frothy, then add 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.
Continue beating until soft peaks form.
Gradually add 1 cup superfine sugar, tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, shiny, glossy peaks form and mixture feels smooth between fingers.
Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.
Transfer meringue to a piping bag fitted with a 1.25 cm plain tip, pressing out excess air and twisting the top to secure.
Pipe ghost shapes onto prepared parchment, about 2 inches high, spacing them apart.
Attach candy eyes or chocolate chips for eyes using tweezers.
Bake for 1 to 1.5 hours until outside is crisp.
Turn off oven, leave door ajar, and let cool in the oven for at least 8 hours or overnight.
