Steps:
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees.

Tips:

- Whip the egg whites gradually, starting at a low speed and increasing the speed as the egg whites become foamy.
- Whip the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks, which means they should hold their shape when you lift the whisk out of the bowl.
- Add the sugar gradually to the egg whites, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip.
- Fold in the vanilla extract and any other flavorings gently, using a spatula.
- Pipe the meringue mixture onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets, using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
