Fortune Cookies

Course Dessert
Cuisine Chinese
Servings 6 Cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg white
  • 1/4 tsp each vanilla and almond extract
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp milk See consistency below
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour See consistency below
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F
  • Whisk wet ingredients and sugar until completely smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the remaining dry ingredients.
  • Sift in the dry ingredients while whisking and keep whisking until smooth.
  • On a silicone sheet (or very well-sprayed baking sheet - NOT greased), spread 1 tbsp of the batter, and spread to a 4" diameter (10cm). Make 2 circles that are about 4" apart.
  • Bake until 1/2 to 2/3 is brown, 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a spatula to flip the cookies over, place the fortune in the middle, fold the disc in half, and then bend it in the middle using a glass, or the edge of your baking sheet.
  • Let the cookie cool completely inside a cup, or muffin tray.
  • Repeat until all the batter is used.

Notes

  • Consistency should be around pancake batter; thin enough to spread, but thick enough to stick together. Adjust with a little flour or milk if needed.
  • Fortunes should be around 3.5" x 1/2" (9 cm x 1.25 cm)
  • Double the recipe to make a dozen cookies.
