Ensure your bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease or oil, as this can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. Room temperature egg whites whip up to a greater volume than cold egg whites. Add the sugar gradually to allow it to dissolve properly and prevent a grainy meringue. For meringue cookies, bake at a very low temperature (around 200°F/95°C) for an extended period (1-2 hours) until dry and crisp. Meringue is best used immediately or stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
