CHINESE FORTUNE COOKIES
Source of Recipe
??
List of Ingredients
3 Egg whites
1/2 c. Sugar
1/8 ts. Salt
1/4 ts. Vanilla
1 c. All-purpose flour
1 t. Instant tea (I use flavored extracts instead, like almond or
lemon)
2 tb. Water
1/2 c. Margarine - melted
Fortunes on slips of paper (I make my own and customize to the
person I am giving to…or if for acquaintances, I have a bunch of
generic ones I used to have typed up, I even used to save fortune
cookies so I could copy the fortunes…lol).
Recipe
Mix egg whites, sugar and salt thoroughly with spoon. Mix in
remaining ingredients, except fortunes. Cover bowl with plastic wrap
and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease baking sheet. Have clean white cotton
gloves ready to use when folding and shaping the hot cookies. If
gloves are not available, use two pieces of paper toweling folded to
several thicknesses to protect fingers from the hot cookies. Also
have some clean muffin tins ready to hold baked cookies while they
cool.
Shape and bake 2 cookies at a time. For each cookie, drop 1-teaspoon
batter onto a baking sheet. Spread the batter with back of spoon to
make a 3-inch circle.
Bake at 350F for 3 to 5 minutes, or until edges turn light brown.
WORK VERY QUICKLY. Remove one cookie with wide spatula to counter
top. Place a fortune paper across center of cookie. Using GLOVES or
paper toweling (you can really burn your hands if you don't), fold
edge of cookie over to make a semicircle. Hold cookie on the ends
and place the middle of folded edge over top of muffin pan; bend
ends down. Place folded cookie carefully in a muffin cup to cool.
Repeat process. Makes 36 cookies.
