- Preheat the oven to 250°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, add the egg whites, lemon extract, cream of tartar & salt and beat on medium speed until foamy.
- Gradually add the sugar (1 tablespoon at a time), beating on high after each addition.
- Continue beating until stiff glossy peaks form and the sugar is dissolved (about 7 minutes).
- Using a pastry bag & large star tip, pipe 1 and 1/2 inch stars about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.

- Turn oven off and leave the meringues in the oven for 1 hour with the door closed.
- Remove from the oven and cool completely on the baking sheets.
