Recipes for "fortune cookies"

Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously grease two cookie sheets with cooking spray.

Write fortunes on strips of paper about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.

Mix egg white and vanilla together in a bowl until foamy but not stiff. Sift in flour, sugar, and salt; stir until blended.

Drop two spoonfuls of batter at least 4 inches apart onto one prepared cookie sheet. Tilt the sheet to spread batter into 3-inch-diameter circles.

Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are pale in the center and golden on the outer 1/2-inch edge, about 5 minutes.

Remove cookies from the oven. Quickly lift one cookie with a wide spatula and place upside down onto a wooden board. Place a fortune on the cookie (close to the middle) and fold cookie in half around the paper.

Place the folded edge over the rim of a measuring cup or coffee mug and pull the pointed edges down, one inside the cup and one outside. Place cookie into a muffin tin or egg carton to hold its shape as it cools. Repeat to form and fill the second cookie.

While the first batch is baking in Step 5, repeat Step 4 to form two more cookies on the second cookie sheet. When you are shaping the first batch of baked cookies in Step 6, bake the second batch. Repeat until all cookies are baked and shaped.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets, or line with parchment paper. Have fortunes ready to go on small strips of paper.

In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites and sugar on high speed of an electric mixer until frothy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and stir in melted butter, vanilla, almond extract, water and flour one at a time, mixing well after each. Consistency should resemble pancake batter. Spoon the batter into 3 inch circles on the prepared baking sheets. Leave room between for spreading.

Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges begin to brown slightly. Quickly remove one at a time, place a message in the center, and fold in half. Fold the ends of the half together into a horse shoe shape. If they spring open, place them in a muffin tin to cool until set.

Print and cut out 3-inch wide paper fortunes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

Whisk sugar, egg white, milk, butter, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add flour; whisk until batter is smooth and falls off the whisk in ribbons.

Scoop 1 tablespoon batter onto the prepared baking sheet; spread into a 4-inch circle using the back of a spoon. Repeat once more.

Bake in the preheated oven until crispy and golden brown on the edges and still pale in the centers, about 10 minutes.

Working quickly, lift 1 cookie using a spatula; add a fortune. Fold cookie in half, pressing edges together lightly. Bend long side cookie in half over rim of the baking sheet, pulling ends down on either side. Curl ends towards each other to form a brim. Place cookie in a ramekin or muffin tin to hold its shape while cooling. Working quickly, repeat with second cookie.

Repeat scooping and baking with remaining batter, working in batches of 2 cookies per batch, folding and shaping cookies while hot. Remove from ramekins or muffin tins when completely cool.
