Fortune Cookies



For about 15 Fortune Cookies you will need:

01. 2.5 tablespoons unsalted butter
02. 2 large egg whites
03. 1/2 cup superfine sugar
04. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
05. Pinch of salt
06. 1.5 tablespoons heavy cream
07. 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

First write up little sayings.




Then heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat; set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine egg whites and sugar, and beat on medium speed, about 30 seconds. Add flour and salt, and beat until combined. Add butter, heavy cream, and almond extract, and beat until combined, about 30 seconds.
Pour 1 tablespoon of batter onto half of the baking sheet, and spread with the back of a spoon into a thin 3.5-inch circle; repeat on the other half of the sheet.

Bake until the outer 1/2-inch of each cookie turns golden brown and they are easy to remove from the baking sheet with a spatula (7-8 minutes).

Working quickly, remove the cookie with a spatula. Place a fortune in the middle of a cookie. To form the fortune cookie shape, fold the cookie in half, then gently pull the edges downward over the rim of a glass, or mug. Place the finished cookie in the cup of the muffin tin so that it keeps its shape.




Continue with the rest of the cookies.
