A Fortune cookie is a crisp cookie, with a piece of paper, a "fortune", on which is words of wisdom, an aphorism, or a vague prophecy. Fortune cookies are often served as a dessert in Chinese restaurant in the US and some other countries, but are absent in China. The exact origin of fortune cookie is unclear.
The best part about making your own fortune cookies is being able to put your own notes inside ! You can gift them to friends, family, co-workers, and so on, and make your notes however you'd like.
(Or you can even play game with it in your parties, instead of fortune put some game or puzzle in side and have blast !!! ;) )
I made these with a fortune on one side of paper and task on other side of the paper for a get to gather and its a charm to the party(As you can see in the above pic the task is to make a hair style) !!!
Preparation time : 1 1/2 hour
Makes : 3 to 4 dozens
Ingredients :
Egg whites : 3
Sugar : 3/4 cup
Butter : 1/2 cup melted
Vanilla Extract : 1/4 tsp
Almond Extract : 1/4 tsp
Water : 3 Tbsp
All purpose flour : 1 cup (5 oz)
Method :
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a oven pan with parchment paper or a silicon mat, and have your fortune strips ready to go.
In a bowl or stand mixer , whip the egg whites and sugar on high speed for about 2 mins, until it's frothy. Whip in the melted butter, vanilla, almond extract, and water until incorporated . Add in the flour and mix until the flour "just" disappears.
With a tablespoon measure, spoon the batter onto the parchment paper and spread it out into an even 3 inch circle. I recommend not doing any more than 2-3 at a time. Since they set very quickly and you will not be able to fold more than that.
Bake your fortune cookies for 7-8 minutes, until the edge brown slightly. If you let them brown too much, they will snap when you shape them. Conversely, if they don't brown a little bit, they will also break (but tear, rather than snapping ).
When your fortune cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven and quickly flip the circle over, and fold your fortune cookie in half, into a semicircle. This is when you slip your note into the cookie ( quickly) because if you slip it in right at the beginning, the cookie will be too hot and your paper will stick to the cookie. place your semicircle onto the edge of a cup, and quickly fold the ends down, to shape into a fortune cookie.
Stick the cookie in a muffin tin to let it cool and hold its shape.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
Enjoy your yummy yummy fortune cookies :)
