List of Ingredients

FORTUNE COOKIES.(Makes about 14 cookies)
****************
2 tablespoons butter (no substitutions)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
14 strips paper (3-inch-by- 1/2-inch each) with fortunes written on them

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease two small cookie sheets. In 1-quart saucepan, heat butter over low heat until melted. Remove saucepan from heat. With wire whisk, beat in powdered sugar, egg white, vanilla and salt until blended. Beat in flour until batter is smooth. Drop 1 heaping teaspoon batter onto cookie sheet. Repeat with another teaspoon batter, at least 4 inches away from first. With small metal spatula or back of spoon, spread batter evenly to form two 3-inch rounds. Bake about 4 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden. Loosen

both cookies with metal spatula. Working with 1 cookie at a time, place a fortune across center of hot cookie. Fold hot cookie in half, forming a semicircle, and press edges together. Quickly fold semicircle over edge of small bowl (drape cookie over bowl's edge) to create fortune cookie shape. Repeat with other cookie. Let shaped cookies cool completely on wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter and fortunes to make 14 cookies in all, cooling cookie sheets in between batches and re-greasing sheets as necessary. Store cookies in container up to 2 weeks.
