  1. Preheat oven to 250 F. Line cookie sheets with silpat baking pads or parchment paper.

  2. Place sugar and instant coffee granules in a http://homecooking.about.com/od/foodstorage/a/coffeestorage.htm fitted with the metal blade. Process until the mixture is very fine, almost to the point of confectioners' sugar. Set aside.

  3. Beat egg whites and vanilla in a large bowl on medium speed until very frothy. Add cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Increase speed to high and add sugar mixture, a little at a time, until soft peaks form and the meringue is shiny.

  4. Place meringue in a pastry bag using a Number 6 plain tube and pipe cookies into 1-1/2-inch rounds 2 inches apart on prepared pans. (Alternatively, use a freezer ziptop bag with the piping tip or drop by the tablespoon.)

  5. Bake for one hour, with no peeking. Turn off oven and let cookies dry for at least 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Store in a sealed container.

  6. Yield: about 3 dozen cookies
