Enjoy creating your own personalized messages with these crispy and delightful homemade fortune cookies. Perfect for celebrations or a fun after-dinner treat!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 large egg whites room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, egg whites, vanilla extract, almond extract, and water until well mixed.
- Gently fold in the flour, sugar, and salt until just combined, making sure there are no lumps.
- Drop a tablespoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a thin 4-inch circle. Repeat, spacing cookies at least 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
- Quickly remove one cookie at a time from the tray, place a fortune in the center, and fold in half. Then bend the edges towards each other to form the shape of a fortune cookie.
- Place the shaped cookies into a muffin tin to cool and hold their shape. Repeat with remaining cookies.
- Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
