Time 30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large egg whites
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup all purpose flour
½ cup sugar
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
  • Add the egg whites and vanilla extract to a medium bowl and use a whisk or hand mixer to beat until frothy, about 1 minute.
  • Sift in the flour, sugar, and salt through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Using a spatula, gently incorporate into the batter until paste-like.
  • Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the batter is smooth and falls into ribbons when the spatula is picked up.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of batter onto a silpat-lined baking sheet and spread into a 3-inch (7-cm) circle.
  • Repeat with another tablespoon of batter, making sure to only leave two circles on the silpat.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, until the edges become golden brown.

Add a fortune in the middle, fold the cookies in half, then place the flat side on the lip of a cup, folding the edges down into a fortune cookie shape. Place the folded fortune cookies in a mini muffin tin until cooled to retain their shape.

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.

Time 25m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 egg whites
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup butter, melted and cooled
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets, or line with parchment paper. Have fortunes ready to go on small strips of paper.
  • In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites and sugar on high speed of an electric mixer until frothy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and stir in melted butter, vanilla, almond extract, water and flour one at a time, mixing well after each. Consistency should resemble pancake batter. Spoon the batter into 3 inch circles on the prepared baking sheets. Leave room between for spreading.
  • Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges begin to brown slightly. Quickly remove one at a time, place a message in the center, and fold in half. Fold the ends of the half together into a horse shoe shape. If they spring open, place them in a muffin tin to cool until set.

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your fortune cookies. Use good-quality flour, sugar, butter, and eggs.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your fortune cookies tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before rolling: Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll and cut.
  • Use a lightly greased baking sheet: This will prevent the fortune cookies from sticking.
  • Bake the fortune cookies until they are golden brown: Don't overbake them, or they will become too crispy.
  • Fold the fortune cookies while they are still warm: This will make them easier to fold.
  • Let the fortune cookies cool completely before filling them: This will prevent the filling from melting.

Conclusion:

Fortune cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can make your own fortune cookies at home in no time. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive dessert, give fortune cookies a try!
