No-Flour "forgotten" Meringue Cookies

"This is my step-grandmother's recipe, and it's been a favorite of mine for years! With no flour, oil, or egg yolks, these are also a lower-cal cookie. Important note: DO NOT double this recipe. The oven won't hold the heat right, and the cookies won't set. Make one batch at a time."
