While beating the egg whites, slowly add the granulated sugar until they get glossy and stiff peaks form. That's how long it should take. To the meringue mix, add the orange extract, vanilla extract, and a few drops of orange food coloring, if you want. Fold them in slowly until they are well mixed. With a star-shaped tip on a piping bag, pipe swirls or dollops of the meringue mixture onto the baking sheet that has been prepared. Put white chocolate chips on top of the meringues.
