So Easy Fortune Cookies
- 4 whole Egg Whites
- 6 Tablespoons Sunflower Oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 teaspoon Amaretto Di Saronno
- 6-1/4 ounces, weight Flour
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 3/4 pounds, 1-1/4 ounces, weight Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Water
- *Note: The key to making these perfectly is timing. You must have everything prepared and ready to go before the cookies are placed in the oven. Work with three cookies at a time as they harden immediately. Personalized fortunes should be written/printed on strips of paper approximately 1/2" wide and 3 1/2" long. Also, the more you spread the batter on the cookie sheet, the thinner the cookies will be and in consequence, the larger they will be... The shape will be a little different when you fold them.
- Preheat your oven to 300F (150C).
- Beat the egg whites in a bowl with the oil, vanilla and amaretto until frothy.
- Sift the flour and cornstarch together into the bowl with the egg whites mixture. Add salt, sugar and water and mix til batter is smooth.
- Using a tablespoon, pour onto a well greased cookie sheet and spread the batter into a disk shape using the back of a spoon (should be roughly 4" inches diameter after spreading). Start by making three or four cookies at a time.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until edges turn golden.
- Remove disk immediately from the cookie sheet, place the personalized fortune in the center and fold sides of the cookie towards the center and over the fortune and press/seal edges with finger tips. Immediately and gently fold the cookies in half again (from one tip to the other- but not completely touching) over the rim of a jar.
- To maintain the shape, let them cool nestled in a muffin/cupcake tin. They will harden and become crispy.
- Continue with the rest of the batter.
- Serve and enjoy!
