Fortune Cookies
Crispy, golden homemade fortune cookies filled with custom messages and a hint of vanilla and almond flavor. Perfect for parties, gifts, or a sweet surprise after dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk egg whites and sugar until frothy. Add vanilla, almond extract, water, and melted butter. Stir in flour, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter onto the baking sheet and spread into a 3-inch circle. Bake only 2–3 cookies at a time.
- Bake for 7–9 minutes until edges are golden. Remove one at a time, place fortune inside, fold in half, and bend over a cup edge to shape.
- Cool on a wire rack until crisp. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Optional: Dip cooled cookies in melted chocolate or decorate with sprinkles.
Notes
- Only bake 2–3 cookies per batch so you can shape them before they harden.
- Prepare your fortunes in advance and keep them close by.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
