How to make fortune cookies

You may not be psychic but if you can make fortune cookies, that’s close enough. Think of how surprised your friends and guests will be to receive a personalized fortune!
Ingredients
2 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon (2.2g) of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon (2.2g) of almond extract
3 tablespoons (41g) of vegetable oil
8 tablespoons (62.5g) of flour
1 1/2 teaspoons (4g) of cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon (1.5g) of salt
8 tablespoons (100g) of sugar
3 teaspoons (15g) of water
Directions:
Measure out strips for your fortunes on a piece of paper. The strips should be about 3″ (7.6cm) long and 1/2″ (1.25cm) wide. Write your fortunes out and then cut the strips. You’ll need about 10 fortunes.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
Beat the egg white in a bowl. Add vanilla extract, almond extract and vegetable oil.
Put flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt into a separate bowl. Stir in the water.
Add the flour; cornstarch; sugar; salt mixture into the egg; vanilla; and almond mixture. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
Place tablespoons of batter onto the cookie sheet, spacing them around 2 or 3 inches (5 - 7.5cm) apart. Tilt the baking sheet back and forth, side to side, until each tablespoon of batter forms into a circle 4 inches (10cm) in diameter.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the outer half turns to a golden brown color, and they are easy to remove from the baking sheet.
Remove the cookie with a spatula, and flip it over in your hand. Place the fortune in the middle of the cookie.
Form the fortune cookie shape: fold the cookie in half, then gently pull the edges downward over the rim of a glass or wooden spoon.
Place the finished cookie in the cup of a muffin tin or teacup or whatever you think will work best so that it keeps its shape. Continue with the rest of the cookies.
