1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large egg whites

Remove from the oven. Working quickly, loosen edges of cookies with a spatula, and turn over.

Gently pull the ends of the cookie down over the rim of a small bowl (or jar); hold for a few seconds or until set. Repeat procedure with remaining cookies.
Repeat procedure until all of the batter is used. Cool cookies completely; store in an airtight container.
