      Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. With an electric beater on low speed,
   whip the egg whites and vanilla until frothy. On a medium speed, add the
   cream of tartar and whip until they turn white and begin to stiffen. Slowly
   add the sugar, whipping constantly, until the whites are stiff and glossy.
      Sift the cocoa powder and cinnamon over the whites. Gently fold the
   cocoa and pecans into the egg whites. Drop heaping tablespoons of the
   batter, several inches apart, on parchmentlined cookie sheets. Bake for 45
   minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the cookies in the oven for 20 to 25
   minutes with the door closed. Store the cooled meringues in an airtight
   container. Yield: about 72 meringues
