Recipe Introduction


Here's a basic recipe for you. Of course the almond flavoring would be
more traditional than the vanilla.


List of Ingredients




1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Pinch salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or 2 to 3 drops of almond extract
3 tablespoons water

Recipe



Print or type fortunes on large sheet of paper, then cut them into
3/4-inch strips no more than 3 1/2-inches wide. Use ink that won't bleed
or run if the paper gets a little oily.

Preheat oven to 300°. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Grease
foil with butter, margarine or nonstick spray. Have a muffin tin handy
and/or small tea cups.

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add liquid ingredients and stir
until the batter is smooth. Drop batter by level teaspoon (no more) onto
prepared cookie sheet, no more than 6 to a sheet. Spread each evenly to
4-inch diameter (can be spread with the back of a spoon).

Set cookie sheet in the oven; bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the
cookies begin to brown lightly. Remove from the oven and immediately
remove 1 cookie with a broad satula. Place a fortune in the center, fold
in half and press back against ledge of counter or muffin pan to form
fortune cookie shape. Set cookies in muffin tin to keep their shape
until cool. Or you could use small tea cups too.

Continue with the rest of the cookies, remembering they harden rapidly.
If the cookies become too brittle to fold, return to oven for 2 to 3
minutes and try again. Repeat process with remaining batter.

Makes 20 cookies.
