HOMEMADE FORTUNE COOKIES



Homemade Fortune Cookies image

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.

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.

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.

Time 1h24m

Yield about 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 egg whites, room temperature
6 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Cut a stencil out of a plastic coffee can lid in the shape of a 3-inch disk. Whip the egg whites until stiff and chill. In a mixer, cream the butter, then add the sugar and continue mixing. Add the flour and blend in, then add the vanilla and blend again. Add the chilled egg whites and mix on low until well incorporated and the batter is smooth. With a small offset spatula, spread batter through the stencil so it is a circle onto a silpat or parchment paper, about 6 per cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven until light golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Quickly remove the pan from the oven and one at time place a fortune across the center with a bit hanging out. Fold cookie circle in thirds over fortune with flaps only slightly overlapping each other. Turn over and bring opposing sides together and pinch. Let cool.

FORTUNE COOKIES



Fortune Cookies image

This is a great recipe that came from the Food Network, so I wanted to post it here (I was looking for a really good fortune cookie recipe on here). One thing, I did find that when I used the recommended tablespoon in putting the batter on the cookie sheet, the centers of the cookies were too "doughy" and the edges were golden brown, and the cookies broke when I tried to bend them into the fortune cookie shape. So, using a rubber bowl scraper, I put a small amount on the cookie sheet and just swirled it around until it was a nice, thin layer, about 3-inches in diameter. This worked perfectly! But, when the recipe says only make a few at a time, it's no joke! These harden quickly and unless you've got others in the kitchen to help or you move with lightning speed, I suggest only making 2 or 3 at a time.

Time 17m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large egg whites
1/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons melted butter, cooled
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

Steps:

  • You will also need: 2 1/2 x 1/2-inch fortune strips.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a cookie sheet thoroughly.
  • Whip the egg whites on low speed until light and foamy.
  • Blend in the sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
  • Pour in the melted butter, flour, salt, and extracts; mix until well combined.
  • Drop a tablespoon of the batter onto the prepared cookie sheet.
  • Using the back of a spoon, spread the batter evenly into very thin 3-inch rounds.
  • Alternatively, use the lid of a jar with a 3-inch circle punched out as a template, pour the batter in the ring, and remove.
  • Because you must work quickly to shape these cookies, bake just 3 at a time.
  • Bake for about 5-8 minutes or until the edges are a light golden color.
  • Remove the cookies with a spatula and place on a work surface.
  • Lay a fortune in the lower middle of the cookie, and fold in half to make a semi-circle.
  • Bend the edges up toward each other to make a crescent.
  • Drag the crease across the rim of a small measuring cup, with the ends facing down.
  • Cool in mini muffin tins to hold shape until crisp.
  • Repeat with remaining batter.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your fortune cookies. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Fortune cookies are a delicate pastry, and it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing.
  • Be patient: Fortune cookies take a little time to make, but they're worth the wait. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with cookies that are too thick or too crispy.
  • Serve immediately: Fortune cookies are best served immediately after they're made. They'll start to lose their crispness as they sit, so enjoy them while they're fresh.

Conclusion:

Fortune cookies are a delicious and fun treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, celebrations, or just a snack. With a little practice, you can easily make delicious fortune cookies at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try!
