Definitely a fun family activity! My friend Paige led the instruction of making these on New Year's Eve to go with our Chinese Take Out. They turned out great and were super easy. Try them, you'll like them!
Ingredients
2 egg whites
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 Tbsp water
Directions
- Beat egg whites until they have soft peaks. Add flour, sugar, vanilla, almond extract and mix well. Then add water and mix well again.
- Place one tablespoon onto a silicone baking mat and smooth out into a thin circle using back of spoon.
- Bake 4-6 minutes until edges are brown.
- Using spatula remove from mat and place fortune on top of cookie.
- Fold circle in half and then using the rim of a glass, bend the folded cookie into the fortune cookie shape.
Tips from a Kitchen of Reality:
- We didn't use almond extract because of my nut allergy. They turned out fine.
- Some of our less baked ones were a little chewy in the middle, so they didn't crack like a normal fortune cookie. If they seem a little bendy after they've completely cooled, put them back on the baking sheet and allow to bake until completely brown.
