Step 1: Prepare the Meringue

• Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 200°F (95°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Beat Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
• Add Sugar Gradually: Continue adding granulated sugar a tablespoon at a time, then increase speed to high until stiff, glossy peaks form.
• Add Vanilla: Fold in the vanilla extract gently.

Step 2: Pipe the Snowmen

• Fill a Piping Bag: Transfer the meringue to a piping bag with a large round tip.
• Pipe Shapes: Pipe three connected circles on the prepared sheet to form the snowman shapes.
• Decorate Before Baking: Insert mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons, and place or prepare space for an orange nose.

Step 3: Bake the Meringues

• Bake Low and Slow: Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the meringues are dry and can be lifted easily off the paper.
• Cool in the Oven: Turn off the oven, open the door slightly, and let the meringues cool inside to avoid cracks.

Step 4: Final Decorations

• Add Noses: Attach tiny orange candies or use orange gel for the noses.
• Draw Scarves and Details: Pipe scarves and other details using red or green gel food coloring.
