Fortune Cookies
Ingredients:
3 egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract optional
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
1/4 cup water
Small paper fortunes
Instructions:
1 Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 In a bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar until smooth and frothy.
3 Stir in the flour, salt, vanilla extract, almond extract if using, melted butter, and water until well combined.
4 Spoon a tablespoon of batter onto the baking sheet and spread into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter. Make as many circles as the sheet allows, leaving space between each.
5 Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
6 While the cookies are baking, prepare your fortunes short, printed messages on small strips of paper.
7 As soon as the cookies are out of the oven, carefully place a fortune in the center. Fold the cookie in half while its still soft, then gently shape it over the edge of a cup to form a fortune cookie shape.
8 Let cookies cool completely before serving or packaging.
