Easy Fortune Cookies (Shaunelle Trenholm)

Ingredients:

3 Egg whites

3/4 Cup white sugar

1/2 Cup butter, melted and cooled

1/4 Tsp vanilla extract

1/4 Tsp almond extract

1 Cup all-purpose flour

4 Tblsp water (may want to add more)

Directions:

1. Have fortunes ready to go on small strips of paper. (Find some on Google)

2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

3. Grease cookie sheets, or line with parchment paper.

4. In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites and sugar on high speed of an electric mixer until frothy (about 2 minutes).

5. 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 very thin pancake batter.

6. Spoon the batter into 3 inch circles on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure it's spread very thin or it will crack when you fold it. Leave room between for spreading.

7. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges brown.

8. Quickly remove one at a time, place a message in the center, and fold in half.

9. 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.


Enjoy!
