Meringue Chips (they were supposed to be cookies)

3 Teaspoons Meringue powder (mine turned out wrong because I didn't follow directions and used 3 Tablespoons!!!)
1/4 Cup Cold Water
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Place Meringue powder, water and half of the sugar in a small mixing bowl.  Whip it at high speed for about 5 minutes.  Slowly add the sugar and the vanilla.  continue to whip at high speed for about 5 more minutes until the meringue mixture is stiff and dry (kind of like marshmallow cream but a little thicker).  Spoon into a cookie decorator or decorating bag tipped with a large tip.  Pipe onto a baking sheet that has been covered with foil or parchment paper.  Bake for 30-40 minutes, until dry but not brown (another mistake I made was not paying attention to the time).  When cool loosen gently from foil or parchment paper.
These look weird, and not at all like Meringue Cookies, but trust me, they are still very tasty!!
