Orange Meringue Cookies

3 egg whites
3/4 C sugar equivalent
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 (3 oz.) pkg. sugar-free orange gelatin
Preheat oven to 475°. Cover 2 baking sheets with foil.

Beat egg whites until foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar. Mix the orange gelatin and sugar together, then add the mixture to the egg whites gradually, a tablespoon at a time, while beating. Beat to stiff peaks. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets or free-form into ghost shapes. Place the baking sheets into the hot oven quickly, then close the oven door, and turn the oven off. Leave the cookies in the oven overnight (8 hours). Store in an airtight container.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies
