FORTUNE COOKIES

Time 50m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch of cardamom
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 large egg whites
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, salt and cardamom. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the extracts and egg whites. Sift in the dry ingredients and whisk it -- whisk it good -- until you have a smooth batter.
  • Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Spread 1 tablespoon of batter into a 3-inch circle on the baking sheet (it helps to use the lid of a mason jar as a guide); make 2 more circles on the baking sheet (only bake 3 circles at a time so you have time to mold the cookies before they cool). Bake until the edges are brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Working quickly (but carefully, so as to not burn your fingers), use a spatula to flip a circle over. Place a fortune in the center, fold the circle in half and then pick it up and bend the folded side over the edge of a bowl to form a fortune cookie shape. Place in a muffin tin so the shape holds while it cools. Repeat with the remaining circles. Bake and mold the remaining batches.

Whether it's sharing a positive prophecy with a friend, proposing marriage, or passive-aggressively letting your roommate know they need to do their dishes, nothing does the job quite like a fortune cookie. The key is to work quickly; you'll want to insert your fortunes and shape these light, crispy cookies right as they come out of the oven. Wearing gloves might be a good idea!

Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

Custom or prepared paper fortunes
1 large egg white
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon milk
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon almond extract
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon melted butter
⅓ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Print and cut out 3-inch wide paper fortunes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • Combine egg white, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, and butter in a bowl. Whisk until sugar is dissolved. Add flour and whisk until batter is smooth and falls off the whisk in ribbons.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet; spread out into a 4-inch circle using the back of a spoon. Repeat once more.
  • Bake first batch in the preheated oven until crispy and golden brown on the edges and still pale in the centers, about 10 minutes.
  • Quickly lift up cookies using a spatula. Add a fortune to each. Fold cookies in half, pressing edges together lightly. Bend each cookie over the rim of the pan, bringing ends down on either side. Lift up and curl ends towards each other. Place cookies in ramekins or muffin tins to hold their shape while they cool.
  • Bake remaining batter in batches, folding and shaping the cookies while hot. Remove from ramekins or muffin tins when completely cool.

Write your own fortunes and place them in cookies. Great for parties.

Provided by Aleta

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Chinese

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 egg white
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a cookie sheet. Write fortunes on strips of paper about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Generously grease 2 cookie sheets.
  • Mix the egg white and vanilla until foamy but not stiff. Sift the flour, salt, and sugar and blend into the egg white mixture.
  • Place teaspoonfuls of the batter at least 4 inches apart on one of the prepared cookie sheets. Tilt the sheet to move the batter into round shapes about 3 inches in diameter. Be careful to make batter as round and even as possible. Do not make too many, because the cookie have to be really hot to form them and once they cool it is too late. Start with 2 or 3 to a sheet and see how many you can do.
  • Bake for 5 minutes or until cookie has turned a golden color 1/2 inch wide around the outer edge of the circle. The center will remain pale. While one sheet is baking, prepare the other.
  • Remove from oven and quickly move cookie with a wide spatula and place upside down on a wooden board. Quickly place the fortune on the cookie, close to the middle and fold the cookie in half. Place the folded edge across the rim of a measuring cup and pull the pointed edges down, one on the inside of the cup and one on the outside. Place folded cookies into the cups of a muffin tin or egg carton to hold their shape until firm.

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (pure)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons water

Steps:

  • Sift the flour , cornstarch, salt, and sugar in a separate bowl. Stir the water into the flour mixture.
  • Add the flour to the egg white mixture and stir until you have a smooth batter. The batter should not be runny but should drop easily off a wooden spoon.
  • Place level tablespoons of batter onto the cookie sheet, spacing them at least 3 inches apart. Gently tilt the baking sheet back and forth and from side to side so that each tablespoon of batter forms into a circle 4 inches in diameter.
  • Bake until the outer 1/2-inch of each cookie turns golden brown, and they are easy to remove from the baking sheet with a spatula (14 to 15 minutes).
  • Working quickly, remove the cookie with a spatula and flip it over in your hand.
  • Place a fortune in the middle of a cookie.
  • To form the fortune cookie shape, fold the cookie in half, then gently pull the edges downward over the rim of a glass, wooden spoon or the edge of a muffin tin. Place the finished cookie in the cup of the muffin tin so that it keeps its shape. Continue with the rest of the cookies.

FORTUNE COOKIES

Fill homemade fortune cookies with personalised messages for a customised treat - ideal for any occasion, such as Chinese New Year, Christmas, Valentine's Day, birthdays and weddings

Provided by Chelsie Collins

Categories     Afternoon tea, Snack, Treat

Time 1h

Yield Makes about 15

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
3 tbsp sunflower oil
100g plain flour
2 tsp cornflour
100g caster sugar
1 ½ tbsp black sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160 fan/gas 4 and line a large baking sheet with baking parchment, or use a silicone baking sheet. Write or print fortunes on paper measuring 6cm long by 1cm wide.
  • Put the egg whites, vanilla, almond extract, oil and 2 tsp cold water into a bowl and whisk with an electric hand whisk until frothy, 20-30 secs. Measure the flour, cornflour, sugar and a good pinch of salt into a bowl, then sift into the egg white mixture. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth batter-like consistency. Chill the mixture for 1 hr.
  • Next, put a tbsp of mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Oil a metal spoon, then use the back of it to swirl the mixture out into a 8-10cm circle. Repeat with another tablespoon of the mixture, to create 2 cookies. Make sure there is space between each cookie as they will spread in the oven. It is best to only bake 2-3 cookies at a time, as you will need to shape them whilst they are hot. Sprinkle 1 of the cookies with black sesame seeds, then bake for 10-12 mins until the edges of the cookies turn golden.
  • One at a time remove the cookies with a palette knife once they are out the oven. You want them to still be soft so you can shape them so work quickly. Turn the cookie over so that the sesame seeds are face down and put the fortune in the middle of the circle. Fold the circle in half to secure the fortune and pinch the 2 edges together to seal. Pop the cookie on the rim of a mug or cup and very gently pull the 2 corners down to get the fortune cookie shape. Hold for 10 secs, then transfer the cookies to muffin tins so that they hold their shape whilst cooling completely. Repeat with the remaining cookie mixture.
