Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Coffee Meringues
  1. Prepare the egg whites by ensuring they're at room temperature and beat on medium speed until frothy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add cream of tartar and salt, beat at medium speed until soft peaks form, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, mixing on high speed until glossy and stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the instant coffee granules and vanilla extract with a spatula.
  5. Pipe small dollops of meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Preheat the oven to 225°F (110°C) and bake meringues for 60-75 minutes until firm to touch.
