Instructions

  1. Separate eggs into two separate bowls, making sure not to get ANY yolk into the bowls containing the whites.
  2. Beat egg whites on high speed until foamy.
  3. Add two tablespoons of the 2/3 cup of sugar to the egg whites and continue to beat until stiff peaks form, and set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, Add vanilla and the rest of the sugar to the egg yolks and beat until pale yellow, set aside.
  5. Sift together the flour and baking powder together (I didn't want to dirty another bowl so I sifted onto a piece of waxed paper).
  6. Gently fold half of the egg whites into the yolks.
  7. Fold the flour mixture into the yolks.
  8. Fold the rest of the egg whites into the yolks.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  10. Load batter into a pastry bag with a wide tip, or a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.
  11. Pipe onto a greased cookie sheet in any shape you'd like (traditionally, they are shaped like fingers, about as wide as your pointer and middle finger put together).
  12. Bake for 6 minutes, or until edges are just golden brown.
