Recipe Introduction


The cookies should harden within 20 seconds of coming out of the oven, so have a friend or many friends help you fold them, or bake only four at a time at first to practice being quick. Work your way up to doing all 20 at once.

List of Ingredients




1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/3 cup vegetable oil
6 egg whites (use fresh eggs)
1/4 cup water
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 jar of coloured sugar crystals

Recipe



Write 20 fortunes on 2 by 1/2 inch strips of colurful paper. For Valentines's Day, make them about love!
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Using a sifter, sift flour, granulated sugar, and cornstarch together in a large bowl. Add the vegetable oil, three of the egg whites, water, vanilla extract, and 2tbs. sugar crystals (try red for Valentine's Day -- green for St. Patty's etc.) Stir well to form a thick dough.
Grease a sheet of aluminum foil with melted butter. Drop teaspoons of dough on foil 4 inches apart. Flatten each dough ball into a 4 inch round shape by pressing a juice glass on it. Beat the rest of the egg whites in a small bowl. Using a basting brush, baste both sides of each dough circle with egg whites. Sprinkle sugar crystals all over both sides.
Bake 15 minutes or until dough turns lightly golden. Remove one cookie at a time from oven with a wide spatula. Place on wax paper. Carefully (they'e hot!) place one fortune paper in the center of each cookie; neatly fold each cookie in half lenghwise, then bend them into a cresent shape. Let cool one hour. Store in an airtight container to keep them crunchy.
