1. Heat oven to 200 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper,
and lightly butter. Place egg whites in the bowl of electric mixer with the
whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks begin to form. Add
food coloring. Gradually add granulated sugar, and beat until stiff, but
not dry. Slowly add confectioners' sugar, and fold in with a rubber
spatula.
2. Transfer meringue mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a #6 large star
tip. Pipe the meringue into 3-inch round disks. Then pipe two layers of
meringue around the edges of each disk to form a shell. Transfer to oven,
and bake until dry, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove from oven, and carefully
separate the meringue shells from the parchment paper, and cool on a wire
rack.
