2 large egg whites, at room temperature |
1/4 teaspoon table salt |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |

1/2 cup dried cherries (or blueberries or cranberries) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper coated with cooking spray.
3. (Note: if you do not have parchment paper, simply coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.) Combine egg whites and salt in a medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer at low speed until egg whites are foamy, about 1 minute.
4. Gradually add sugar, increasing the mixer speed until egg whites form stiff, glossy peaks (about 5-7 minutes) Fold in remaining ingredients.
5. Make 24 cookies by dropping batter by tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheets.
