Add cream of tartar and salt; continue whipping until soft peaks form.

Gradually add granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while whipping until stiff peaks form and mixture is glossy.

Mix in vanilla extract and any food coloring until evenly combined.

Spoon or pipe the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in desired shapes.

Sprinkle powdered sugar on top if desired.

Turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely for at least 1 hour.

Once cooled, fill with chocolate chips or serve plain.
