List of Ingredients
White Paper
1/2 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
Dash of salt
1 tsp almond extract
2 egg whites
1/4 cup vegetable oilRecipe
Cut paper into about 24 strips, 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.
Write a different fortune on each strip.
Heat oven to 300 degrees F. Generously grease cookie sheet. Mix
flour, sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add almond extract, egg whites
and vegetable oil; beat until smooth.
Bake only 4 cookies at a time. (Cool cookie sheet after each baking
and grease generously each time.)
For each cookie, spoon 1 heaping teaspoonful batter onto cookie sheet;
spread into 3 1/2 inch circle with back of spoon. Bake about 10
minutes or until golden brown.
Working quickly, remove 1 cookie at a time with wide spatula, flip
into protected hand. (Leave remaining cookies in oven.) Place
paper fortune on center of cookie and fold cookie in half. Holding
points of folded cookie with both hands, place center of fold over
edge of bowl and pull points downward to make a crease across center.
Place cookie in ungreased muffin cup so it will hold its shape while
cooling. If cookie cools before it is shaped, heat in oven about 1
minute. Store in tightly covered container.
About 2 dozen cookies.
Note: These cookies *will* want to stick to the cookie sheet!!!
Definately grease extra, or, if you have access to such, use a teflon
sheet on top of the cookie sheet.
