Fortune Cookies
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons melted butter, cooled
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- You will also need: 2 1/2 x 1/2-inch fortune strips.
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
- Grease a cookie sheet thoroughly.
- Whip the egg whites on low speed until light and foamy.
- Blend in the sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
- Pour in the melted butter, flour, salt, and extracts; mix until well combined.
- Drop a tablespoon of the batter onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Using the back of a spoon, spread the batter evenly into very thin 3-inch rounds.
- Alternatively, use the lid of a jar with a 3-inch circle punched out as a template, pour the batter in the ring, and remove.
- Because you must work quickly to shape these cookies, bake just 3 at a time.
- Bake for about 5-8 minutes or until the edges are a light golden color.
- Remove the cookies with a spatula and place on a work surface.
- Lay a fortune in the lower middle of the cookie, and fold in half to make a semi-circle.
- Bend the edges up toward each other to make a crescent.
- Drag the crease across the rim of a small measuring cup, with the ends facing down.
- Cool in mini muffin tins to hold shape until crisp.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
