-
Type up and cut out your fortunes, set aside.
-
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
-
Line a couple cookie sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, with an electric hand mixer, whisk together the egg whites and sugar, until frothy. It may take a few minutes.
-
Whisk in melted butter, vanilla, almond extract, water, and flour. You want the mixture to resemble pancake batter. If it's too thick, just add and extra TBS of water.
-
Spread a TBS of the batter on the cookie sheet, into a 4 inch circle. You want to spread it so it's as thin as a crepe.
-
Do two cookies per sheet, until you get the folding technique down, then maybe up it to four.
-
Bake for about 7 minutes, or until the edges are golden about 1/2" all the way around.
-
Remove from oven, using a spatula, quickly remove them and set them on the counter.
-
Fold them in half, without creasing the folded edge, you want a hollow opening.
-
Fold them in half the other direction, so they look like fortune cookies. :) To help them hold their shape while cooling, set them inside a muffin tin. It will prevent them from opening.
-
Once they have cooled and hardened, fold a fortune in half, and stuff it into one side of the cookie. (Adding them to the cookie before folding usually leads to a stuck fortune...icky.)
-
All done!
