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.
